About This Event
Join Psychedelics Today, SSDP, MAPS, and partners on September 14 for an evening of conversation, networking, and a live podcast recording following the FDA’s public hearing on psychedelics.
On September 14, the FDA is holding a major public hearing on the potential future therapeutic use of psychedelic drugs.
That evening, THE GATEWAY brings people from across the psychedelic field together in Silver Spring, Maryland, to compare notes and talk about what comes next.
Researchers, advocates, clinicians, veterans, policy leaders, and others working across the field will gather for food, drinks, networking, and a live podcast recording while the conversations from the FDA hearing are still fresh.
The live discussion will look at what happened during the hearing, what we learned, what may change, and what the next phase of psychedelic policy and access could look like.
Speakers include Betty Aldworth of MAPS, Kat Murti of SSDP, Meredith Thomas of Thank You Life, Simeon Schnapper of JLS Fund, Brigitte Gordon, DNP, PMHNP-BC of Journey Clinical, and veteran advocate Samantha Juan.
The Gateway will be hosted by Joe Moore of Psychedelics Today, Anne Philippi of The New Health Club, and Marissa Feinberg of PSYCA and Triple Bottom Why.
