ABOUT
FuckUp Nights is a global movement that takes place every month in more than 200 cities in more than 70 countries around the world. In each chapter, three or four speakers share their stories of failure. It can be a professional, business, or project failure. No excuses, just the fuckups. It is an opportunity for entrepreneurs to learn from each other’s mistakes as there is a lesson in every story and even more so in the stories that are rarely told, the stories of failure. FUN Nights doesn’t attempt to celebrate failure, it celebrates the people who have failed and have stood back up to keep fighting. We celebrate that perseverance, with a drink in hand, and above all else, we have FUN doing it.

Programme Background
Fuckup Nights is a global movement and event series that shares stories of professional failure. Each month, in events across the globe, we get three to four people to get up in front of a room full of strangers to share their own professional fuckup. The stories of the business that crashes and burns, the partnership deal that goes sour, the product that has to be recalled, we tell them all.
It all started with a group of five friends drinking tequila in Mexico. A considerable amount of tequila! They questioned why everyone always talks about the success of the Zuckerbergs and Gates of the world, but no one shares candid stories of failure. People do not talk enough about business failure.
Thanks to the liquid courage, each of them shared their most significant failure, beginning a magical conversation that allowed them to get to know each other better and connect on an even deeper level. They decided to share the life-changing experience with more friends, creating the first FuckUp Nights in 2012.
