Fuckup Nights Austin Presents: Smashed Pumpkin Edition 🎃

Thursday, October 22 | 6:00 PM Industrious, 98 San Jacinto Blvd, 4th Floor

Every pumpkin starts out with big plans. Maybe it pictured itself as a prize-winning pie, or the star of a front porch, or a glowing jack-o'-lantern with a perfect grin. Then shit happens. Somebody drops it, a squirrel gets to it, or it caves in on itself by the 13th. 

Fuckup Nights is back for Vol. III with brave speakers who will take the stage to share their most memorable (or horrible) professional flops. We're talking launches that fizzled, businesses that folded, and career moves that went sideways, plus what they learned while cleaning up afterward.

We don't do polished success stories or humblebrags dressed up as failure. You'll hear real stories from real people who tried something, got smashed, and are still standing.

What to expect

• Honest, funny, and occasionally cringe-worthy stories from Austin professionals
• A room full of people who get that failure is part of doing anything worthwhile
• Good conversations, free drinks, cookies by Meli's and Chip Monk, and zero judgment
• Costumes are welcome but not required. Best costume wins tickets for our next event!

Who should come: Founders, leaders, freelancers, career changers, recovering perfectionists, and anyone who has ever hit "reply all" by accident. If you've messed up at work (so, everyone), you belong here.

Come for the stories and stay for the people. Spots are limited, so grab yours before they get squashed.

Fuckup Nights is a global movement that shares stories of professional failure to build braver, more human workplaces. This event contains adult language and a lot of honesty.
