Peter Shankman is a spectacular example of what happens when you merge the power of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) with pure creativity and a dose of adventure, and make it work to your advantage. An entrepreneur, author, speaker, and worldwide connector, Peter is recognized worldwide for radically new ways of thinking about Social Media, PR, marketing, advertising, creativity, and customer service.

    I'm sorry that I was unable to attend, but thank you all, so much, for contributing to a cure for Polycystic Kidney Disease. (www.pkdcure.org) I can't tell you how much it means to have your support in curing PKD, which afflicts one out of every 500 Americans. With your help, we'll cure it sooner. Thank you!!

    The event went exceptionally well. I learned so much. Most importantly, the speaker was very entertaining. I'm reading Peter's book now, which really reinforces many key points that he mentioned yesterday. I look forward to attending the next one.

    Peter was like a storm that blew through and left everyone with questions about their own beliefs regarding social media but also ideas on it's future role in business. I went in not really knowing much about Peter but left very intrigued.
