Failure Cafe

Did you know that nearly one third of Canadian Small Businesses fail within the first 5 years? [1]

This conversation circle invites members of the public to share and reflect on their experiences of professional and business failure in a non-judgemental environment. No happy endings are required!

Coffee, tea and snacks are provided.

Registration is encouraged. Drop-ins welcome until capacity is reached. Attendees can share their stories with the group, or just come to listen.
