While Davos and the World Economic Forum get most of the headlines, there’s another gathering of major business and political leaders across the ocean in New York City. The Concordia Annual Summit has been bringing together heads of state, leaders of the private and NGO sectors, and new and diversified perspectives for over a decade – and for the first time, Microdose is helping to bring psychedelics to this world-class event.
An exploration of tangible solutions to local and global challenges, the 2022 Concordia Annual Summit is the main conference taking place alongside the United Nations General Assembly. The 12th Annual Summit will convene the top movers and shakers of today’s world to spark dialogue, promote collaboration, and collectively pave the path toward a more equitable, sustainable future.
Microdose Psychedelic Insights is proud to announce its official partnership with the Concordia Annual Summit, presenting the first-ever Mental Health & Psychedelics Panel. The 2022 Concordia Annual Summit will convene from September 19th to September 21st in New York City. Concordia and Microdose are planning an essential conversation and reception alongside the UN General Assembly.
“We’re pleased to officially partner with Concordia, presenting the first-ever psychedelic-focused content on their stage. This will be an incredible opportunity to explore the emerging psychedelic ecosystem in front of high-level thought leaders and policymakers from Government, Corporate and Nonprofit Organizations,” said Patrick Moher, President of Microdose Psychedelic Insights.
“I’m honored to have been able to bring Concordia and Microdose together, with the aspiration to advance a critical conversation on the regulatory reform necessary to unlock psychedelic health solutions globally,” said Isaac Gilmore, COO of Ginger Commerce and Former Navy SEAL.
Previous and current speakers include: Jill Biden, First Lady of the United States of America, former secretary of state Henry Kissinger, CEO of Oracle Safra Catz, former Nato Cmdr General Wesley Clark, Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan, as well as UN Secretary Generals, and numerous Ambassadors. In 2021, Laura Bush, the former First Lady of the United States, was awarded the 2021 Leadership Award at the Concordia Annual Summit.
“Concordia has always been an inclusive home for conversations that lead to collaborative, cross-sector action in pursuit of positive impact. The social and health challenges facing the global community today warrant the serious and scientific exploration of all possible solutions, making this set of conversations particularly timely,” said Hanne Dalmut, Senior Director of Partnerships at Concordia.
The presentations will focus on themes concerning substance abuse, addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, end-of-life anxiety, and other conditions plaguing the mental health of our global community. The discussion will provide a high-level overview of the past, present, and future of psychedelics policy and science, highlighting the potential to revolutionize mental health.
