Welcome to Fuckup Nights Adelaide! We're a storytelling-focused gathering acknowledging the mistakes, failures, and fuckup stories that impact our personal lives and professional careers, affecting us as the humans that we are.

Fuckup Nights is a global movement born in Mexico in 2012 to share public business failure stories with hundreds of people attending each event around the world. 3 speakers are invited to talk about their fuckup stories; we’ll learn about their biggest mistakes, what they learned, how they moved on- all whilst sharing invaluable advice along the way.

The speakers will candidly share in 7 minutes:
* What their project / business was
* What went wrong / How it affected their personal life / What they learned / What they would do differently.

At the end of each person’s story, you’ll have a chance to ask questions- nothing too cheeky, but feel free to dig around.

Doors open at 5 pm and speakers start at 6 pm (so just be there by 5:30 pm and settle in).

You’ll hear stories and advice you won’t get elsewhere - and these stories will (hopefully) put you in good stead to not make the same fuckups. Find out more at
