Flipping perspectives and creating a more aware society.
In 2018, we started building and growing a community in Barcelona around failure with recurring events featuring honest and vulnerable conversations to help individuals get rid of limiting paradigms. In 2023, we expanded to Madrid and currently reaching an audience of more than 7000 members with an average of 130 attendees per event.
Context
Fuckup Nights is a global movement and series of events where stories of failure are shared, with a reach of 215 cities, 62 counties, 15k+ failure stories, and 1m+ attendees. Each month, at events around the world, a couple of people face a room full of strangers to share their own fuckup. Stories of businesses that go bust, partner deals that fall out, products that have to be recalled, we tell it all..
Our contribution
We are proud hosts of the Fuckup Nights events in Barcelona and Madrid and are responsible for organizing recurring events where we share stories and networks with over 130+ attendees, with food and drinks. Our goal is to generate a no-bullshit event, with vulnerability, in-person experience, in a relaxed environment to inspire natural connections. We share these stories to challenge our perception of failures and how our society deals with them.
Purpose
Develop a more human and aware society. Inspire personal connections, and let go of social stigmas.
