Park your broomsticks for SheSays Amsterdam’s spine-tingling Halloween edition: ‘Frightful F*ck-Ups To Live & Learn From’. Watch out for bewitching speakers sharing personal and professional horror stories – from nightmare clients to evil bosses and possessed projects. Hear how they survived to tell their tales – and what their bumps, scars, and bruises taught them along the way.
SheSays AMS’s fright-night is (g)hosted by futurefactor founding partner, Kerrie Finch. She and fellow haunted souls will be sharing blood-curdling moments from the cobwebbed corners of their pasts. Register – if you dare – for a bloody good (online) time. Bring your own boos and booze.
