Come connect and network with like-minded folks about the intersection of psychedelics and career!About this Event
Work plays a big role in your life. You spend lots of your waking time focused on it. Come talk with like-minded folks about the intersection of psychedelics and career!
Whether you work directly in a psychedelic field or you'd like to transition into work related to psychedelics, this is your event. It's also a place to talk about how you integrate your psychedelic perspectives into seemingly unrelated professions. Is your work as a lawyer or web designer informed by your medicine insights? Do you prefer to collaborate with others on our path?
Get insights into the state of the psychedelic industry in a Q&A with Simeon Schnapper, managing partner at the JLS Fund. JLS was formed to invest in the intersection of science, technology and neurology, leveraging the enormous potential of plant-based and psychedelic medicines to heal illness and enhance wellness.
Life and career coach Colleen Newvine will facilitate connections, so you don't have to worry about walking into a room full of people where you might not know anyone. She'll balance the night with structured introductions and plenty of time for open conversation.
We'll kick off the presentation at 7:30 p.m. Arrive early to get settled in before then.
Don’t miss out—grab your ticket, bring your business cards,and get ready for an evening of fun, networking and psychedelic serendipity!

Simeon co-founded the High Art Collective in 2008, the world’s first Psychedelic Art Gallery and Medical Marijuana Dispensary. It was praised as a paradigm shift at the very beginning of the end of prohibition and was featured in the Wall Street Journal and Rolling Stone.
Simeon founded the Hinman Foundation where he served as trustee and president focusing on making grants to community-based organizations, building capacity, and diaspora diplomacy. He formulated the vision and led all efforts on the ground in Tibet, Mongolia, Nepal, Myanmar, India, and Bhutan. There he also oversaw grants to the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) which included a study on the Psychological and Cognitive Effects of Long-Term Peyote Use and the efficacy of hallucinogens for treating substance dependence.
Simeon advises several non-profits, psychedelic and impact startups, is an Aspen Institute Fellow, and a member of the New York Mycology Society.
His introduction to psychedelics came 30+ years ago in Chicago where he studied with Dr. Robert E.L. Masters and Jean Huston Ph.D., who authored the seminal book The Varieties of Psychedelic Experience: The Classic Guide to the Effects of LSD on the Human Psyche. Later, he immersed himself in the Amazon with various ayahuasqueros and syncretic churches, which showed him the power and efficacy of plant medicines, now becoming mainstreamed and medicalized.
Simeon has spent over three decades deeply immersed in the research, philanthropy, activism, policy, criminal justice reform, and the science of psychedelics. He co-hosted the world’s first Psychedelic Investment Summit at the beginning of this decade.
