About Fuckup Nights
Success stories are everywhere.
Failure stories? Not so much.
Fuckup Nights Winnipeg is a speaker series where founders, leaders, and creators share their biggest professional failures — and the lessons that came from them.
Join us for the very first Winnipeg edition of the global movement that’s been held in 300+ cities worldwide.
What is Fuckup Nights?
We’ve all been to events where people talk about how they hacked growth, scaled their startup, or crushed their goals.
But very few where someone gets on stage and says:
“I messed up — and here’s what I learned.”
Fuckup Nights is a global speaker series where professionals share their biggest failures, openly and honestly.
The stories include things like:
businesses that collapsed
partnerships that blew up
products that completely flopped
career decisions that went sideways
And most importantly:
What they learned from it.
What to Expect
The format is simple:
🎤 3–4 speakers
Each speaker gets:
10 minutes
10 slides
to tell the story of their biggest professional failure.
a short Q&A
After the talks, there are drinks, food and mingling
Expect a room full of:
founders
operators
creatives
professionals
curious people who want to learn from real experiences.
Why This Event Exists
Failure is part of every success story.
But culturally, we hide it.
Fuckup Nights exists to break that stigma.
Because when we talk openly about mistakes:
we learn faster
we connect more honestly
we become better builders.
Speakers
Amanda Buhse, founder of Coal & Canary.
Doug Darling, co-founder of Trip Wire Media.
Philippe Richer, founder of TLR Law.
