Fuckup Nights is a global movement and event series that shares stories of professional failure. Events across the globe get 3 or 4 people to get up in front of a room full of strangers to share their own professional fuckup/mistake. The stories of the business that crashes and burns, the partnership that goes sour, the product that has to be recalled, stories like these will all be told.
At this third event we wil have three fabulous speakers who are going to share their mistakes. No happy ending for any of these three stories!

Come and hear the tale of how he and his two business partners first entered the world of tablet computing in 2006, took on the likes of Dell and Apple (the 1st generation iPad was released in 2010), and almost won!

Fuckup Nights es un movimiento global y una serie de eventos donde se comparten historias de fracasos. Cada mes, en eventos en todo el mundo, conseguimos que tres o cuatro personas se enfrenten a una sala llena de extraños para compartir su propia cagada. Historias de negocios que quiebran, acuerdos de socios que se pelean, productos que deben retirarse del mercado, contamos todo.
