Is it possible to actually be addicted to video games?
Meet Cam Adair!
March 27, 2019
6:30 to 8:00 pm
Dodge City Public Library
1001 N 2nd Avenue
Dodge City Kansas

Attendance is Free!

Cam is a talented hockey player, whose life took a dramatic turn at the age of 11 when he began to experience intense bullying, leading him to drop out of high school. He never graduated, and while all of his friends were off to college he was playing video games up to 16 hours a day. Struggling with depression he got to the point of writing a suicide note, and it was this night when he made a commitment to change.

Today, Cam Adair is a speaker, entrepreneur, and pioneer on video game addiction.

He's the founder of Game Quitters, the world's largest support community for video game addiction, serving members in 91 countries.

His work has been published in Psychiatry Research, and featured in two TEDx talks, Forbes, BBC, ABC 20/20, and VICE, amongst many others.

He has spoken at the Mental Health Commission of Canada, the American College Personnel Association, and even at the Nevada State Conference on Problem Gambling where his keynote in 2017 was voted "best presentation" of the conference. He speaks regularly around the world at high schools, universities, parent nights, and addiction conferences.

Cam is signed by CAMPUSPEAK, a higher education speaking agency. His keynotes combine deep and meaningful personal insights with lessons on addiction recovery, personal development, social dynamics, entrepreneurship, leadership, creativity, and psychology.

His videos on YouTube have been seen over two million times.
