The Comeback Edition
After 6 years, Fuckup Nights returns to Timișoara with The Comeback Edition. Because success isn't the only thing that deserves to shine in the spotlight.
There are moments when things don’t go as planned. Projects where you’ve invested time and energy, only for them not to work out. Decisions that, if you could, you would weigh differently. Most of the time, these stories remain untold. They don’t appear on social media and they don’t make it into presentations.And yet, these are the moments that build character; the ones that mark your path in life.
At Fuckup Nights Timișoara, business professionals, entrepreneurs, and artists take the stage to speak openly about their professional failures and how these setbacks helped them evolve.
The speakers for this inaugural edition are:
Iozefina Nicoleta Tudor is a communication expert with over 20 years of experience as a journalist, PR professional, and branding consultant. She is currently the Director of Communication and Branding for a renowned multinational company. She believes that all community systems are sustained by education, making schools and training programs fundamental to a balanced and harmonious society.
Răzvan Vlasin is the CIO of the Belgian group Newpharma and coordinates its operations in Romania. His career transitioned from telecommunications, where he managed crisis situations, to software development for banking and insurance. Today, he contributes to the transformation of the e-pharma market. He is married, has two children, and a cat that occasionally thinks it’s a dog.
Valentin Mureșan is an author of high-impact initiatives and a builder of communities and bridges between worlds that often seem separate: technology, entrepreneurship, education, public administration, and civil society. Throughout his journey, he has combined an entrepreneurial spirit with a desire to generate added value—whether as the founder of ABQ Institute and Cercool, co-founder of Growceanu, Banat IT, FABER, and the Timișoara Community Foundation, or in leadership roles at companies like Movidius and Intel.
It’s an evening where honesty, humor, and real-life lessons meet in a relaxed setting, alongside a community that knows the path is never perfect, but how we choose to move forward makes all the difference.
As an integral part of Fuckup Nights, a networking session will allow speakers and participants to connect and share more stories over a welcome drink and appetizers on the house.
The Fuckup Nights movement began in 2012 in Mexico City. A few friends started sharing the "bad things" that had happened to them—and they enjoyed it. They even drew extremely useful conclusions. They repeated the meeting, but with more friends. And guess what? The others loved it too; they felt good and realized that talking about failure is extraordinary. Because success isn't the only story worth telling. Today, Fuckup Nights is an international movement that shares, questions, and ultimately celebrates failure.
