About F*ck Up Nights @ McMaster

FuckUp Nights (FUN) is part of a global speaker series and community where people share honest stories about professional failure.

On March 11, FuckUp Nights Hamilton teams up with McMaster University and the DeGroote School of Business for a special edition of our global storytelling series

This collaboration brings the energy of the FuckUp Nights movement right to campus, creating space for honest stories about failure, resilience, and the lessons that shape real success. We’re featuring three incredible speakers who will share their biggest professional setbacks: what went wrong, what it cost them, and how those moments ultimately fueled growth and new opportunities.

Free to McMaster students and faculty, this event is designed to spark meaningful dialogue, challenge the stigma around failure, and connect a community that values courage, innovation, and authenticity. Expect powerful stories, fresh perspectives, and a supportive atmosphere where ambition meets humility.

Because failure isn’t the opposite of success, it’s part of the journey.
