A panel on 'Safety and Danger' will look at how psychedelics can both help and hinder, and what's being left out of the mainstream conversation. Our 'Alternative Futures' panel will explore possible ways the psychedelic renaissance could evolve, the different values at play, and whether psychedelics can lead to cultural change. A Unifying Panel will bring together a multi-disciplinary group of speakers to explore what a synthesis looks like in the complex psychedelic ecosystem. Finally, Daisy Campbell will treat us to an uplifting performance to end the day.
