Event Details
Our first event of the year is in collaboration with Reveal Events Group and will be taking place at Fifth Avenue Cinemas. Three "f*ckuppers" each have 7 minutes to share their own professional f*ckup in front of a room full of strangers. What did they learn? What would they do differently? How did they recover? Think dev post-mortem but on a stage and in a supportive, fun and safe environment. Let's get rid of the stigma of failure and learn from our mistakes as a community. Join us on January 23 as we #sharethefailure!
