HI All,
I've drafted a rough press release as below- we can build upon that.
Failcamp press release
All of us love to talk about our success stories and achievements. But
do we ever pause for a while to discuss and learn from our failures?
Someone rightly said, “Failure is stepping stone for success”, but
most of us are hesitant when it comes to tell someone about our
failures. Come November 16, one event will make you shred your
shyness, open up and learn from your past mistakes for future success-
welcome to Failcamp.
Failcamp is an event in line with the likes of Barcamp, but with a
difference. While we tend to hide negative side of us in most of the
events, failcamp is all about discussing our failures and mistakes
with fellow participants and in the process, learn how the same can be
avoided in future and how a disaster can be turned into an
opportunity. While it takes lots of guts to admit our mistakes,
rewards can be equally higher for those who are open to learn from
their mistakes-join us at Failcamp to make that happen.
