F*ck Up Nights is a global movement launched in Mexico City in 2012. Presenters, typically entrepreneurs, get seven minutes and 10 slides each to tell their stories of failure, followed by Q & As and networking.
Launched in Victoria in 2016 by Jim Hayhurst and Ian Chisholm with VIATEC, local F*ckUp Nights typically draw 250 people together to learn from presenters and celebrate their courage to tell the real stories.
There’s something down to earth and meaningful about F*ckUp Nights. As one participant said, “Hearing about how other people screwed up really causes you to reflect on your own moments of failure. You get honest, fast.”
