Join us for FailFest 2017: Where Misteaks Happen

The words ‘ beer’ and‘ mistakes’ are often seen in the same sentence. This March 16, it may not be as reckless as it sounds.

We're delighted partnering with the Triangle Community Foundation, BC/DC Ideas, and Third Space Studio to present FailFest, an open-mic style event at King’s downtown Raleigh for Triangle nonprofit leaders to share their stories of failure.

The first 50 people through the door will receive a free beer.

The event will feature influential Triangle nonprofit leaders who have failed over the years and bounced back magnificently. Speakers include:

• Satana Deberry, Executive Director of the North Carolina Housing Association
• Representative Graig Meyer of NC House District 50
• James Miller, Executive Director of the LGBT Center of Raleigh
• Molly Rivera, Communications Associate of the ACLU of North Carolina
• Maria Spaulding, Human Services Management Consultant, Community Volunteer, and Organizer
• Debbie Warren, Nonprofit Consultant

In addition to our guest failures, we’ ll have a rapid-fire storytelling session with short 5-minute failure stories from a few audience members who want to share their own stories, too.
