SINCE 2014 IN AUSTRIA

Fuckup Nights.

Sometimes we win. Sometimes we learn.

If we look familiar to you, maybe it's because you've seen us here.

OUR MISSION

Failure culture eats strategy for breakfast.

Fuckup Nights are a global movement where professional failure gets shared, questioned — and the lessons behind it celebrated. At every event, three speakers have exactly ten minutes to tell us about their fuckups. And, more importantly, what they learned.

The first Fuckup Night in Austria took place in Vienna in 2014. Today you'll find us all over the country — and in more than 80 countries worldwide. We're proud to be the most active entrepreneurs and creators movement on the planet, with one mission: to take the stigma out of failure. Politically, socially, personally.

Fuckup Nights The Movement

Fuckup Nights are run by community leaders around the world who aren't necessarily connected to one another. Our events in Vienna, Upper Austria, Carinthia, Lower Austria (and soon Burgenland) aren't just part of this great movement — they are the movement. They are organised entirely independently and have no commercial ties to the organisations or events in other countries.
