Paris Hilton’s Nonprofit to Host ADHD Creator Summit With 50+ Neurodivergent Creators
Paris Hilton will host UNSTOPPABLE, a daylong summit for neurodivergent creators, on October 15 at Slivington Manor in Los Angeles. The event, produced by Hilton’s nonprofit 11:11 Media Impact and presented by Loop Earplugs, will convene more than 50 neurodivergent creators for activations built around ADHD during ADHD Awareness Month.
The summit was developed in partnership with Understood.org, which is leading its education program. Hilton, whose public ADHD advocacy dates to her disclosure of growing up with an undiagnosed condition, framed the event as an extension of that work. “I spent so much of my life masking my ADHD,” she said. “That’s why I wanted to convene creators to build community, provide real tools, and the confidence to bring it back to everyone who follows them.”
Hilton’s team cited data behind the event’s creator-specific focus: an estimated 20% of the global population is neurodivergent, but 76% of neurodivergent people do not disclose their diagnosis publicly. The team also pointed to figures showing 49% of Gen Z self-identifies as neurodivergent, while 52% of ADHD-related content on TikTok is described as inaccurate or misleading.
A Format Built Around the ADHD Mind
Rather than a conventional conference, the day is structured around sensory and regulation-based activation zones that guests move through at their own pace.
Programming includes sessions with Understood.org’s Sarah Greenberg and Dr. Andrew Kahn, Jake Collective CEO Melissa Floren Filippone alongside Weill Cornell Medicine’s Dr. Conor Liston, and a panel moderated by The Mental Health Coalition’s Charles Nicoleau with The Jed Foundation’s Courtney Knowles, What’s Trending host Shira Lazar, and Dr. Sasha Hamdani. The day closes with a fireside chat featuring Hilton, Spin Master co-founder Anton Rabie, and alice + olivia founder Stacey Bendet, moderated by Nancy Armstrong.
Loop Earplugs, the presenting sponsor, will donate $5 from every pair of its Loop Engage earplugs sold through October toward the initiative, with a guaranteed minimum contribution of $150,000. Hilton co-designed the limited-edition product with the brand. Additional partners include Hilton Hotels, United Talent Agency, Kinetic Sand and JBL. 11:11 Media Impact plans to release a PSA after the event featuring participating creators discussing their experiences with ADHD, produced with Understood.org and The Mental Health Coalition.
UNSTOPPABLE builds on advocacy work Hilton has carried out for several years. She was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, after friends’ own diagnoses led her to see a specialist, and has since discussed the condition in a visual memoir documenting her musical career and in an animated series, Paris & Pups, that includes a character with ADHD. Earlier this year, she partnered with Collegium Pharmaceutical on an awareness campaign tied to her own use of one of the company’s medications. 11:11 Media Impact’s broader mandate also includes ending institutional child abuse in the Troubled Teen Industry and combating nonconsensual intimate imagery, including AI-generated deepfakes; the organization has helped secure passage of the federal Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act and 19 related state laws.
