So what the f* is Fuckup Nights?
Fuckup Nights is a global event series held in 250+ cities worldwide, where founders, entrepreneurs, creatives and innovators share brutally honest stories about the times they truly messed up.
The business idea that flopped. The launch that tanked. The decision that backfired. The moment everything felt like it was falling apart - and what happened next.
A night of vulnerability, authenticity, deep connection, and big laughs.
Fuckup Nights has arrived back in New Zealand, to break taboos and to shift the way we see failure - as a natural, healthy part of the journey, and key to growth.
Don't miss the Auckland launch event.
