Fail Fest 2026
March 25 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Failure is a part of every meaningful career, but it’s rarely discussed openly. Fail Fest 2026 creates space for honest conversation around the challenges, missteps, and turning points that shape our lives.
Join us on March 25th at the UC Downtown Innovation Hub for an engaging panel featuring local leaders who will share candid stories about moments that didn’t go as planned—and the insights they gained along the way.
This event is designed to connect students, professionals, and community members through thoughtful dialogue, practical perspective, and shared experience.
Featured Speakers
- Morgan Morrison, Rock City Cake Company
- Mike McCown, Industrial Bolting Technologies
- Chad Bishop, Hatfield and McCoy Moonshine
Open to University of Charleston students, faculty, and the broader community.
