Failcamp is a friendly unconference where people get-together to share and learn from failures. Life's most important lessons can be learnt from failures.

We all make mistakes and learn from it to become a better person. Won't it be great to learn from other's mistakes so that we don't make the same ones!

The focus is really not about the failure. It's about why we failed and what lessons we learnt from it. Let's not be ashamed about failing. Let's celebrate failure. Let's look straight into its eyes.

Go ahead. Sign up.
