Fuckup Nights is a global movement where stories of failed businesses, projects, and careers are told, questioned, and celebrated. In events across the globe, business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders get on stage to acknowledge their work-fuckup in a room full of strangers (ish since this is Pgh with 1-degree of separation).

The first event happened in Mexico City in September 2012 after five friends felt the need to break free from the stigmas of failure during a mezcal-infused conversation.

Today, Fuckup Nights has expanded to more than 250 cities and over 60 countries across the globe where lessons of failure are shared and heard!

In a world of obstacles and posturing, Fuckup Nights Pittsburgh plans to change the stigma around failure and inspire our brilliant innovative community as we come together and highlight entrepreneurial journeys from some of our very own change-makers.

Hear from Pittsburgh's top entrepreneurs, CEOs and leaders as they share their story of a time when a business deal went sour, a product got recalled, or life took a turn for the worse. Join our Fuckup Nights Pittsburgh community for our TENTH event on MARCH 5TH at 6 pm for drinks, food, laughs and some effed up FAILURES!
