Champignon is one of the first pure-play psychedelic companies to IPO on a major exchange and is quickly assembling a portfolio of clinical, drug delivery and research assets. The impact of the coronavirus pandemic has put greater emphasis on the importance of mental health, according to Stephen Murphy, managing director at Prohibition Partners, which is producing the virtual event. “Consumers are looking for options to improve their mental health and, as the body of evidence mounts for psychedelics, the healthcare industry is responding with solutions,” Murphy said in a statement. “We’re delighted to partner with Champignon Brands on PSYCH and support their vision of improving mental health via psychedelics.”   During the event, participants can livestream keynotes and panels from over 150 executives and policymakers presenting new findings and expert analysis on the state of the nascent industry.
