Fiasco Fest 2024: Celebrate your career fiascos with a community

Do you celebrate things you tried that didn't work out? Do you acknowledge work put into rejected proposals, conference talks, job applications? Sharing professional fiascos (in a fun and community-minded manner) can put them into perspective.

Rejection is a normal part of academia - and we aim to make it fun! The Fiasco Fest is a night where career misfortunes in academia are shared, snacks & drinks are served, laughs are had, and we celebrate each other as the excellent researchers we are, resiliently moving towards our best professional selves.
