Inside the Microdosing Summit: The Full Schedule 🍄

The first-ever Microdosing Summit is less than two weeks away, with 20+ of the field’s leading voices!

On October 21, 2026, we’re hosting the Microdosing Summit in partnership with Third Wave, the Center for MINDS, and Texans for Greater Mental Health. We’ll be gathering at a private hilltop sanctuary above Austin, TX, for a day spotlighting the potential of low-dose psychedelics across research, policy, culture, and practice.

If you already have your ticket, here’s what you can look forward to. And if you’ve been waiting for a reason to make the final decision, our agenda is here, and we’re so excited to share it with you!
