Welcome

We are pleased to announce that Psychedelic Medicine – Israel 2026 will take place in Tel Aviv on October 25–28, 2026, at the Hilton Hotel, Tel Aviv.

​

After the extraordinary success of Psychedelic Medicine – Israel 2024, it is our very great pleasure to invite you to participate in Psychedelic Medicine – Israel 2026,  which will be held at the idyllic Hilton Hotel on the Tel Aviv beachfront on October 25-28, 2026.

​

The Revolution Expands

​

With the resurgence of psychedelics as potential therapeutic agents for psychiatric and other disorders, we are approaching a new epoch in mental health care. The field is at a critically important and enormously exciting juncture.


Psychedelic Renaissance

​

A striking wave of scientific interest surrounds psychedelics. As rigorously designed studies are published and the psychedelic drug development industry accelerates, we are witnessing an unprecedented convergence of pharmacology and psychotherapy. Beyond psychiatry, the therapeutic potential of psychedelics spans neurology, palliative care, addiction, and immune-related disorders. Remarkably, many of these compounds trace their origins to centuries-old healing traditions.

​

Especially now

​

In light of the deep suffering and ongoing conflict in the Middle East, and the widespread psychological toll it continues to take, the upcoming conference in Israel exploring the therapeutic potential of psychedelics arrives at a particularly urgent and meaningful moment. While the field is still emerging, early research suggests that these substances may offer new avenues for understanding trauma, grief, and the human capacity for healing. This gathering provides a vital space for researchers, clinicians, and community members to engage in thoughtful dialogue, share findings, and ask hard questions about how these tools might be responsibly and ethically integrated into care. Especially in a region marked by so much pain and complexity, the need for open-minded, rigorous inquiry into new healing modalities is not just academic—it is deeply human.

​

​About the Conference

​

Psychedelic Medicine – Israel 2026 will serve as an international forum for scientific exchange, training, and interdisciplinary dialogue. The program will include Plenary Lectures, Thematic Panels, Oral Communications, Poster Sessions, Workshops, and interactive Salons. Participation of early-career researchers will be supported through Young Investigator Stipends. Industry involvement is welcomed, with dedicated exhibition space and sponsorship opportunities to support the conference’s academic mission.

The Setting

Tel Aviv, a city of innovation and culture, offers an ideal setting for global collaboration—combining vibrant energy, rich history, and Mediterranean charm.

We look forward to welcoming you to this landmark event in October 2026. Psychedelic Medicine – Israel may well signal the next chapter in the integration of psychedelics into mainstream medicine.

​

Sincerely yours,

​
