Fuckup Nights Sydney: The Failures Behind The Headlines

**🎟 Tickets are sold on Eventbrite only: [eventbrite.com.au/e/2003645208756](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/2003645208756)** **Your Meetup RSVP is not a ticket. Grab yours on Eventbrite.** Three Sydney founders get on stage and tell the story of a business that went properly wrong, and what they took from it. Seven minutes each, then questions from the room. Off the record. Fuckup Nights started in Mexico City and now runs in 250+ cities across 70+ countries. No pitch decks, no "and that is when we raised our Series A". Just the stories people normally only tell after the second drink, and the lessons that came out of them. ## Who's speaking **Ben Rennie**, Founder, Rennie Lab · CEO, SP1. A design studio that grew too fast: thirty staff to zero, and ten leased company cars parked on his front lawn. **Spiroula J**, Founder, FOS Collective. An interior studio with a business partner of eight years. It lasted six months. **Robert Ian Bonnick**, Founder, SpeakuP Monday. A café in Bali built on big dreams and very little research, and what came out of it. MC: **Xavier Crow**, Mentalist · Founder, Real Human Dynamics. ## How the night runs 5:30pm Arrive, grab a drink and a good seat 6:00pm Welcome 6:15pm First story and Q&A 6:30pm Second story and Q&A 6:45pm Break and networking 7:00pm Third story and Q&A 7:15pm Closing words 7:30pm Networking 8:00pm Wrap ## Where 📍 Cardea, Shop 2 T3.01, 300 Barangaroo Avenue, Barangaroo NSW 2000. A live music and cocktail bar with red velvet booths and chandeliers, about five minutes' walk from Wynyard Station and Barangaroo Metro. Drinks and food aren't included in your ticket, but Cardea's full menu is available on the night. ## Who comes Founders, business owners, agency people, operators, and anyone quietly in the middle of their own fuckup right now who would like to feel less alone about it. About half the room comes on their own. **🎟 Tickets: [eventbrite.com.au/e/2003645208756](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/2003645208756)**

Board Games in a Bar. Sunday Edition

The Art Syndicate's weekly games night has been running for over two years. The regulars keep coming back. That's the whole story, really. Come as you are. **If you've got $10 to spend at the bar, that's what keeps the collection growing**. A wine, a beer, something non-alcoholic, and you're set for the night. **If money's tight, just show up. We'd rather have you in the room.** **External food is welcome.** For the after-work crowd, we often end up eating together anyway. Lisa and Saxon know the collection inside out. Tell them what you're after, something fast and social, a deep strategy game, or you've never touched a board game in your life, and you'll be sorted in five minutes. We've got titles that'll become new favourites and rare gems for the dedicated gamers. The room fills up with people who came once and never stopped coming back. Solo, with friends, or somewhere in between, it works either way. Come find out why. 🎲 Come find out why. **🎲 What's on the table** **Party & social** Coyote · Exploding Kittens · Ghost Court · Here to Slay · Monikers · Munchkin · No Ducks Given · Sushi Go · Telestrations · Trolley Problem · Uno: No Mercy · A Fake Artist Goes to New York **Social deduction** Blood on the Clocktower · Codenames · Coup **Strategy** Arcs · Carcassonne · Catan · Railroads · Sidereal Confluence · Ticket to Ride: Europe **Mystery & investigation** Awkward Guests · Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective · This Game is Killer: Frozen Horrors **Co-op** Magic Maze · Pandemic Legacy · Puzzle Box **Team** Captain Sonar **Classics** Cards · Chess · Scrabble *Want something specific?
