The Mushroom Summit 2023 will bring together industry veterans, entrepreneurs, investors, scientists and the curious to share knowledge, best practices and a common vision to support the strong, sustainable and responsible growth of this emerging sector. Covering the entire product lifecycle, from cultivation to supply chain, marketing to compliance, and everything in between, The Mushroom Summit will be the one place for the industry to gather, connect and work collaboratively towards a common, successful purpose.
Co-located with Psychedelic Science 2023, the largest psychedelic gathering in history, The Mushroom Summit will take place during the workshop days of Psychedelic Science so you can make plans to join us for a full week at two events that will provide you with the knowledge and community building opportunities you need to advance both your professional and personal goals.

What The Market Is Saying
As the pandemic continues to recede into the history books, one of the largest impacts observed so far has been a shift in consumer behavior towards greater health consciousness, with many turning to the ancient benefits of functional mushrooms. What originated in China and East Asia thousands of years ago, is slowly entering the food & beverage, personal care and cosmetic industries here in North America and generating expectations of a $20 billion market cap by 2030. The demand for functional mushrooms as not only supplements but as a key ingredient in anti-aging, cognition, brain health, energy, immunity, endurance, clarity and general well-being products has created a tremendous opportunity for this once quiet sector.
Stay the week in Denver and attend both The Mushroom Summit and Psychedelic Science 2023, the largest psychedelics gathering in history.
