As the organisers put it, “We hope that by holding this event, people will come to terms with the fact that failure is inescapable, and will start to explore novel ways of embracing it in order to foster resilience and psychological safety in highly competitive communities. People with a lot of potential will be more willing to take risks, think creatively, and try things that might push boundaries if they hear stories like these about how others overcame similar obstacles.

In an interview with Bored Panda, Francesco explained the conference’s purpose: “We hope for this conference to bring together inspiring people to see failure through different lenses and clearly state that we all go through setbacks at some point and, regardless, everyone can still become their role model (like the ones we bring on stage), because their experience was not always defined by success as well and they learned and grew forward.”
