NOV 10
10:00 – 11:45
Session 1 – Discover Failures
This year’s stories aren’t polished. They’re confessions. Vulnerable, messy, and real. People from every corner of life—artists, athletes, founders, parents—taking the stage to say: “Here’s how I failed, and here’s what I found in the rubble.”
Speakers:
- 10:10 – 10:25 – Mirela Oprișor
- 10:25 – 10:40 – Otilia Pețu
- 10:40 – 10:55 – Cosmin Dărăban
- 10:55 – 11:10 – Rux și Opulență
- 11:10 – 11:25 – Costin Dămășaru
NOV 10
11:45 – 13:30
Lunch Break: Nourish Your Mind and Palate
Food for the body. Conversation for the brain. Awkward networking included. This is your chance to swap failure stories with strangers over a plate of something tasty.
NOV 10
13:30 – 15:15
Session 2 – Different Lives, Same Failures
We’re not that different. Whether you’re running a startup, running a marathon, or just running late, failure shows up. This session brings voices from all walks of life to remind us: vulnerability is universal, and so is growth.
Speakers:
- 13:30 – 13:50 – Adrian Nartea
- 13:50 – 14:05 – Bianca Adam
- 14:05 – 14:20 – Cristina Botezatu
- 14:20 – 14:35 – Sergiu Neguț
- 14:35 – 14:50 – Andy Szekely
NOV 10
15:15 – 16:30
Coffee Break: Brewed Mistakes
Caffeine, connections, and maybe oversharing. Because nothing says “bonding” like telling someone how you messed up over a cappuccino.
NOV 10
16:30 – 17:30
Education Panel: EDUCATION is not just school
School teaches you equations. Failure teaches you life. Our panelists explore how real learning happens outside classrooms, through risks, mistakes, and getting things wrong enough times to finally get them right.
NOV 10
17:30 – 18:45
Session 3 – Legen—Wait for It—dary Fails
Yes, legen—wait for it—dary. The kind of failures that make you cringe and cheer at the same time. Stories from unexpected places, told by people brave enough to be vulnerable in front of a crowd. These aren’t just fails; they’re fireworks.
Speakers:
- 17:30 – 17:45 – Acoustic Boyz (show)
- 17:45 – 18:20 – Erika Isac
NOV 10
18:45 – 22:30
Band Performance & Celebrating Resilience (foayer)
Failure dances too. Celebrate the mess, the magic, and the music. No dress code, just good vibes. Bring your best dance moves — or your worst, they count as well.
NOV 10
19:00 – 20:30
VIP Reception with the speakers: Toast the power of networking (VIP lounge)
