Untold Stories Behind Success with Failure:Lab

Friday, March 11
12:30PM - 1:30PM

Westin Austin Downtown
Paramount 1
310 E 5th ST

Failure:Lab is an international movement that showcases the struggles behind success. The events feature stories from successful people -- providing the context and backstory behind their rise. It is the only format in the world that shares vulnerable failures without lessons, leaving them to the audience who are invited to tweet and write their thoughts. In this way people are able to learn from failure, share their thoughts, and be part of a growing conversation that pushes back on the fear and stigma around failure. Entertainment is blended between each story, clearing the air and setting the stage.
