Cocktails and Failure Celebration
“Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself!”― Eleanor Roosevelt
From Jack Molisani, LavaCon’s Executive Director:
I believe an “expert” is someone who has made all the mistakes possible in a given field (assuming you don’t keep repeating them).
As Eleanor Roosevelt said, let’s learn from the mistakes of others. So grab a drink and your best failure story. You’ll learn from others, and others will learn from you!
I anticipate we’ll hear people boasting, “You think you screwed up? What until you hear what I did!”
Join us for an evening of cocktails and failure celebration!
