The matter of failure is rarely discussed in terms of a business’ or project’s success.

This meeting aims to insist on the importance of failure in the success of three creative studios. Sebastian Sylwan of Félix & Paul and Quentin Bleton of Moment Factory and Takashi Kudo of TeamLab (Japan) will share their own experiences by insisting on the role of failures and challenges as a source for learning, development and ultimately, success.
