F*ckUp Night #10 – Design Failures

Join us for F*ckUp Night #10 – Design Failures

Fuckup Nights is a global movement born in Mexico in 2012 to share publicly business failure stories. Hundreds of people attend each event to hear three to four entrepreneurs share their failures. Each speaker is given 7 minutes and is able to use 10 images. After each speaker, there’s a question/answer session, as well as time for networking (beers).

The speakers for the evening include:
