Aethos Fu*kUp Night
🎉 F*ckUp Night Cambridge – Celebrate the Art of Screwing Up! - BYOB
Ever launched a product to crickets, spilled coffee on your only prototype, or sent “dummy” code to production? Good. You belong here. Inspired by the global Fuckup Nights movement—born in Mexico in 2012 and now rocking 300+ cities worldwide —this evening gives failure the mic so the rest of us can learn (and laugh) together.
📆 When & Where
Thursday, May 8, 2025
5:15 PM sharp – doors & drinks
Aethos Station, 7th Floor, CIC, 1 Broadway, Kendall Square (check in at lobby desk, then ride the elevator of destiny).
🤯 What’s the Game Plan?
5:15‑5:45 – “Pre‑mortem” mingle (grab a beverage, meet fellow survivors).
5:45‑6:30 – Three brave storytellers share 7‑minute disaster tales (+ 3 slides max).
6:30‑7:00 – Open‑mic lightning fails (90 seconds each—yes, we have a gong).
7:00‑? – Networking & “post‑fail therapy” at the bar downstairs.
🎤 Want the Spotlight?
Got a cringe‑worthy flop that left you wiser? Hit the “Apply to Speak” button after you RSVP and send us a one‑liner by noon day‑of. Slides optional; honesty mandatory.
🤝 Why Show Up?
Laugh harder than at your last sprint retrospective.
Walk away with battle‑tested lessons (and maybe a new co‑founder).
Normalize the F‑word: Failure—because if you’re not screwing up, you’re not shipping.
RSVP now—seats are limited and schadenfreude is best enjoyed live.
