Most people fuck up at some point…and nearly everyone lives to tell the tale.
Fuckup Nights is a global movement and event series that shares stories of professional failure. The event has been running in Bristol since 2023. We’re are pleased to announce this collaboration with the South West chapter of the Women in Property Network to bring you another Fuckup
Events across the globe get three or four people to get up in front of a room full of strangers to share their own professional fuckup/mistake. The stories of the business that crashes and burns, the partnership that goes sour, the product that has to be recalled, stories like these will all be told.
~~~
At this event we will have three fabulous speakers who are going to share their mistakes. No happy ending for any of these three stories!
Michael Teeling – founding director of MAKE
Grace Robinson – GB Triathlete and endurance athlete
Laura Aiken – In 2019, Laura had a seemingly impressive career in engineering and construction, a house, great friends, and a long-term relationship headed for marriage. By May 2020 she would have none of those things.
Amidst a promising engineering career, Laura’s world imploded due to persistent workplace sexism, resulting in burnout, a broken relationship, and leaving her job. Hear Laura’s untold narrative of fighting in a system not designed for her, a tale of personal failure and the failure of an industry, with no happy endings.

Let’s change the narrative, let’s #ShareTheFailure and learn from it.
