The Psychedelic Lived Experiences Summit 2026 brings together patients, trial participants, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, and organizations to examine safety, real-world outcomes, and support gaps after psychedelic treatment. Taking place online November 20–22 under the theme Beyond the Protocol, the summit features nine working roundtables and three synthesis panels, each organized around practical questions about better research and care. The independent summit is built and led by people with firsthand experience of psychedelic trials and treatments. It creates space for lived experience to help shape the agenda. Session outputs will inform a post-summit paper documenting findings, gaps, and priorities. Organized by Psychedelic Lived Experiences and hosted by Pedram Dara.
