A Fuckup Nights Private Event is a live experience where 3 or more speakers share real stories of failure.
The result: psychological safety that no training manual can manufacture.

Most corporate events are met with applause and forgotten the next day.
Teams then go back to hiding their mistakes within their comfort zone.
Knowledge alone does not bring about change.
Change happens when you experience it firsthand. By sharing mistakes and lessons learned, we foster psychological safety.
We select 3 speakers from our global network — or prepare people from your company to share their stories. We align with you on content, audience and goals.
A 60–120 minute live session (in-person, hybrid, or virtual) with an expert moderator, an intro that reframes failure, real failure stories, and interactive dynamics that get the whole room involved.
More than 90% of attendees report a change in how they handle failure. Your team leaves with a new way of acting.
We created the Santander Growth Zone program, a dynamic three-day workshop series tailored for fast-growing businesses.
Through interactive sessions and hands-on activities, participants acquired practical tools to scale their operations, cultivate a resilient organizational culture, and spark innovative thinking across their teams.

We co-created the concept of their global campaign Release Your Infinite, with the purpose of inspiring the audience to lose the fear of failure and discover their passion, exploring new ways to "release all that they can be".
Using the existing brand, format, and community of Fuckup Nights, we designed a communication campaign and videos based on a special edition of Fuckup Nights.

Since 2019, we have hosted 8 editions of Fuckup Nights in collaboration with the University of Amsterdam, to share professional experiences and learnings from alumni with the student community.
These gatherings have enabled connections across generations through stories of failure.
We also design custom workshops, multi-session programs and organizational failure management assessments for teams that want to dig deeper into their culture.
Fill out the form and we'll share examples with you.
Can we talk about failure in any industry?
Yes! In our speaker coaching sessions, we help you select and structure a story.
We work with banks, pharmaceutical companies, tech firms, NGOs, governments, and more—from the most innovative sectors to the most heavily regulated industries on the planet.
From interns to CEOs, including former heads of state, rock stars, Olympic medalists, and more.
What does a Fuckup Nights event look like inside a company?
Real, inspiring, and never boring.
We use our 3-speaker format and adapt it 100% to your culture and goals.
We kick things off with an introductory talk designed to shift mindsets and behaviors, followed by high-energy interactive dynamics.
Looking for a more hands-on approach? We also design workshops tailored specifically for teams.
What kind of results do organizations see after working with you?
More than 90% of attendees report that they changed their perspective on failure after our events.
Companies such as the World Bank, Coca-Cola, Google, and Airbus recommend our experiences as the highest-rated activity among their employees.
The word "failure" triggers resistance and fear in my company. How should we address this?
We design every event or workshop to fit your company culture and your team’s specific goals.
Your experience can be vibrant, disruptive, and memorable, or more data-driven and focused on actionable insights.
Everything is customizable—the name, branding, speaker profiles, moderators, and story types—ensuring it aligns perfectly with your needs.
I love the idea, but how can I sell it to my boss?
We’ve got your back. We’ll support you with all the data from our work with other organizations, highlighting the key benefits and impact.
If the word “fuckup” is a dealbreaker, no problem. We can use our acronym “FuN event” or our more formal brand: The Failure Institute.
