Why is there a fee to attend?

Free Parking: For this event, we have arranged for you to be able to park at Stevens for free! Parking entrance is located under the Babbio Building. That's the glass sided bldg along Sintatra Dr after 4th St. You can enter after 6 pm and you MUST leave by 10:45. After 10:45 your car is set on fire and you are no longer welcome at any NJ Tech Meetup events. Leave by 10:45 please as not to abuse our relationship with Stevens. Kidding about the fire. Not kidding about removing you from the group.

More on Peter: Angel Investor. Founded (and sold) HARO. World Traveller. Ironman Triathlete. Cat father.

Peter Shankman blames ADHD for most of his success. A serial entrepreneur, Peter is best known for founding Help A Reporter Out (HARO), the social media website that redefined how journalism and PR works by connecting millions of sources with hundreds of thousands of journalists around the world each day, for free. HARO was acquired by Vocus in 2010. Peter sits on the advisory board of NASA, is an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Dell, and is a successful angel investor with multiple start-up companies in his portfolio. 2011 marked his entry into Hollywood, when he became Executive Producer on Right Next Door, a new film premiering soon. When he's not spending 90% of his time running through airports to catch a connecting flight, Peter is based in Times Square, New York.

He currently lives in New York City with an overweight psychotic cat and a beautiful wife, and in his little spare time, is a sub -4 marathon runner, an Ironman, and B-licensed skydiver. And in classic ADHD fashion, in 2011, a tweet of his was voted one of the top 10 Tweets of the year by ABC News and Twitter.
