Fuckup Nights Toronto: 9 Year Anniversary
WTF is Fuckup Nights?
Failure is a part of any success story, but we don't talk about it enough. We've all been to plenty of events where people tell you how they hacked, hustled, and created their success, but very few where someone gets up and says "I totally messed up, and this is what you can learn from it."
Fuckup Nights Toronto is part of a global speaker series where stories of failed businesses and projects are shared. Each speaker is given 10 minutes and is able to use 10 images. After each speaker, there’s a Q&A session, as well as time for mingling and drinks!
Agenda:
6:30 - 7:15 pm: Registration, meeting fellow community members
7:15 - 8:45pm: Fuckup presentations + Q&A
8:45 - 11:00pm: DJ and more mingling with fellow community members!
Speakers:
TREVOR LUI: RESTAURATEUR , CHEF, AUTHOR, STORYTELLER
Quell co-founder Trevor Lui has helped co-create and develop some of Toronto’s foremost food brands, including Kanpai Snack Bar, Superfresh and FatBao. His agency, The Highbell Hospitality Group, curates immersive culinary events for a growing list of clients seeking curated food, drink, and lifestyle experiences.
LILY ROGERS: PSYCHOTHERAPIST, FORMER TECH WORKER (Early Shopify)
Lily is a psychotherapist, cancer survivor, former tech worker, and new to Toronto. Following her cancer diagnosis in 2020, she finally listened to the persistent voice that knew she had a calling beyond working in tech. Her fuck-up was not listening to it sooner.
ADEMOLA ADELAKUN: CEO & FOUNDER, A2 Media
Ademola is a professional magician turned video marketer. After 20+ years of performing magic, he realized something...The same principles that make an audience lean in during a trick are the the same ones that make a buyer trust a brand. That's why he built A2 Media. He wanted to help as many brands as possible use video the way it should be used: to build trust, tell great stories, and connect with audiences.
