F***up Nights Sydney: The Failures Behind The Headlines | Business Networking
From Eventbrite · Last checked 9 Nov. That's our last look, not a live ticket check.
Event details may change. Confirm times, availability and prices with the organiser before attending.
The lowdown
Three founders. Seven minutes each. One thing in their business that went properly wrong, told out loud to a room full of people who have one too.
That's FUN. It started in Mexico City and now runs in 250+ cities across 70+ countries. The Sydney edition is run by a small team who think the most useful hour in business is the one nobody posts about.
Who's speaking
Ben Rennie, founder of Rennie Lab, CEO of SP1, author of Lessons in Creativity. Thirty staff to zero, and ten leased company cars parked on his front lawn.
Spiroula J, founder of FOS Collective and The Elite Interior Design Academy. A business partner she had known for eight years, and a studio that lasted six months.
Robert Ian Bonnick, entrepreneur and author. An international venture that didn't go to plan, and a direction he never saw coming.
MC: Xavier Crow, mentalist. Hosts: Natalia and Amber.
Where
📍 Cardea, Shop 2 T3.01, 300 Barangaroo Avenue, Barangaroo NSW 2000
A live music and cocktail bar. We were there in October and liked it enough to come back: chandeliers, vintage furniture, and a bar named after the Roman goddess of doorways.

The night is off the record. No recordings of the talks are shared. The only way to hear these stories is to be in the room.
Who comes
Founders, business owners, agency people, operators, and anyone quietly in the middle of their own failure right now who would like to feel less alone about it. About half the room comes on their own. By the break, they don't look it.
