Last week, 200 neurodivergent influencers, entrepreneurs, actors, musicians, authors, and other public figures were “sliving”—slaying at living—their best life at Paris Hilton’s Beverly Hills mansion in celebration of ADHD Awareness Month.
The first annual Unstoppable ADHD Creator Summit featured alpacas, a ball pit, a giant slide, a bouncy castle, and endless free merch—including Paris Hilton-branded scented candles, water bottles, T-shirts, and hats with slogans like “ADHD Princess” and “I’m Iconic.”
The carnival for hyperactive creators took place in and around the socialite’s home, a cross between a Beverly Hills mansion, a French chateau, and Barbie’s Dreamhouse. Included on the guest list were musician Lizzo, influencer Haley Baylee, YouTuber Rebecca Zamolo, actress and comedian Whitney Cummings, actress and singer Miranda Cosgrove, Love on the Spectrum star Tanner Smith, and many more. Event sponsors like JBL and Loop provided wireless earbuds, eye masks, and other swag.
Each attendee was handpicked by the host, who sent out online invitations directly. (Many later admitted they thought the unexpected DM from Paris Hilton inviting them to her home was fake.)
But for ADHDer and neurodivergence advocate Hilton, the get-together was much more than a party.
“I know so many people who have ADHD—from artists to creators and some of the most brilliant, creative people I know—and I just felt like there was nothing really representing everyone,” Hilton tells Fast Company. She says she’d been thinking about hosting an event like this for several years.
