About

On Friday May 29th, we're bringing together your fellow squiggly, spiky, dot-connecting, interdisciplinary generalists for a special Toronto Tech Week meetup! Join for an evening of drinks, nibbles and conversation, swapping squiggly career stories and sharing advice, experience and excitement on interesting projects, portfolio career journeys, and entrepreneurship / solopreneurship. This event is an official part of Toronto Tech Week :) In all likelihood, this room will be filled with the most fascinating and multi-faceted crowd of any event in this year's Toronto Tech Week. You wouldn't want to miss it. Hosted by Generalist World, the breakthrough global community that's leading the charge - and writing the book - on the generalist movement. Sponsored by Gamma, your new favourite free-to-use AI design partner for creating effortless presentations, websites, and more. No coding or design skills required. Get 1 month free of Gamma Pro with the code GENERALIST Organized by Dave Mence, active advocate for the generalist movement, long-time Generalist World community member, organizer of the Generalist World Toronto Community and Program Ops Manager at Notion (a decidedly generalist role). What is a generalist? Professionals who apply their skills across multiple domains, connect disparate ideas, or serve as "translators" between different teams and disciplines. If you've ever felt your career doesn't fit in a single box, this event is for you. What to expect: Connect with fellow generalists Celebrate the power of diverse skillsets and squiggly careers Swap squiggly career stories and practical advice Venue: This event is being hosted downtown on King St. W near Bathurst St., with easy TTC access and ample parking options. The location will be shared with each of you in your registration confirmations :) Toronto Tech Week: This event is an official part of Toronto Tech Week 2026 - a citywide celebration of the people building what’s next. From May 25–29, 2026, founders, investors, and builders come together for hundreds of community-led events across Toronto, connecting tens of thousands of people around Canadian tech | torontotechweek.com
