Fuckup Nights YEG - August 2026

Come share epic fails and laughs with us at Fuckup Nights YEG this August – real stories, real lessons!
About this Event

Failure is the one thing every entrepreneur, business leader, corporate executive has in common, and somehow still the last thing anyone talks about.

Fuckup Nights YEG exists to change that. Founders, leaders, and builders take the stage to share the stories that didn't make it to LinkedIn: the restaurant idea that flopped and accidentally became a brilliant catering concept, the firing that turned out to be the kick in the pants needed to build something better. The pivots, the losses, the moments that almost broke them, and what happened next.

These conversations matter. They help you learn from people who've been there, give you a realistic picture of what entrepreneurship actually looks like, and connect you with others who understand the chaos firsthand.

Join us at The Arts Hub Ortona on August 26th for an evening of honest stories, real connection, and zero judgment. Speakers, refreshments, and treats available. All you need to bring is yourself, and maybe someone who needs to hear this as much as you do.
