FailFest Returns
The second FailFest will take place today at Tom Wood Aviation at Indianapolis Metropolitan Airport in Fishers. The event is organized by Launch Fishers and focuses on the role failure plays in pushing careers, businesses and communities forward. It will feature presentations from a number of top entrepreneurs and innovators in the state discussing lessons they learned from past mistakes. Inside INdiana Business Host Gerry Dick will kick off the event.
During an interview last month with Inside INdiana Business, Fishers-based CloudOne Inc. Chief Executive Officer John McDonald says "time and time again, it is the most critical component to success – some degree of failure before settling in on the thing you want." McDonald will join a list of more than 20 featured participants in the event.
