Community Partners
You can learn about the conference at psychedelicscience.org, and also by following @psychedelicscience on social media.
Please see here if you are looking for more information about how to make a submission for a conference session, creative project, or apply for a scholarship or volunteer opportunity.
Our goal is to platform as much of the community as possible throughout the conference and the annual communications cycle.
The Community Partners program is a way for mission-aligned charitable and other non-commercial organizations to officially participate in the conference and enjoy discounts and other benefits.
In order to learn more about benefits, see if your organization is eligible, and apply to become a Community Partner, please take ten minutes to read through the entirety of this Community Partners FAQ section.
Community Partners are primarily charitable and tax-exempt organizations that align with the mission of the conference. Projects under tax-exempt fiscal sponsorship typically qualify.
In some cases, unincorporated and informal community organizations may also be eligible.
In rare cases, organizations operating out of for-profit entities out of convenience but that are fundamentally non-commercial and not revenue-driven may be able to participate.
Most for-profit companies or commercial projects are not eligible for Community Partners, but can still participate in the conference via our Sponsors & Exhibitors sales program.
Media companies may also be separately asked to apply to become a Media Partner (rather than a Community Partner.)
Organizations that focus on the following kinds of activities and themes are often eligible for Community Partners, so long as they are not businesses.
- Science and academic research
- Education & training programs
- Professional associations and societies
- Media and journalism platforms and projects
- Peer societies and clubs (regional, affinity, interest, etc.)
- Policy reform and political campaignsSafety, peer support, and harm reduction
- Patient advocacy and interest groups
- Arts, music, culture, and event projects
- Government and official organizations
- Foundations and grantmakers
Once confirmed, Community Partners may receive the following benefits:
- Inclusion on website and app
- Discounted exhibitor packages
- Discounted registrations packages for staff
- Ability to apply for use of Community Meeting rooms
- Ability to propose sessions for the Community track stage
- Listing of off-site events in official agenda
- Participation in Community Partners surveys
Note that some benefits are subject to availability, and some benefit levels (such as discounts) may vary depending on the organization’s size and ability to support itself.
In general, we do ask larger, better-funded organizations to carry more of the cost of their participation and try to offer smaller, less-funded organizations more support.
The Community Partners program is not a funding or grant program, and we are unable to offer direct financial, travel, or lodging support.
The conference is also unable to offer stage time outside of the standard speaker proposal process, although Community Partners do receive special consideration for the Community track.
The conference does not act as a fundraising or advertising service per se for Community Partners, and will not send attendees direct solicitations of any kind.
Beyond simply showing up and sharing their work with the conference, we ask that all Community Partners make reasonable efforts to promote Psychedelic Science 2025 to their audience via email, social media, live and virtual events, and other channels.
Typically, the expectation is one dedicated newsletter per quarter (Q4, Q1, Q2), one dedicated social media post per quarter, and reasonable inclusion in whatever events, podcasts and videos, etc. are produced leading up to the conference.
We know that different organizations have different resources and communications strategies, so we are open to some flexibility to suit.
Anyone who believes that they are eligible is welcome to apply.
We recommend applying as soon as you are able, and certainly by December 15, 2024.
Some benefits are naturally limited by space and time, such as discounted exhibitor booths, Community track sessions, Community Meeting room time, etc. The cost of discounted registrations and exhibitor space still increases in tiers each season. So, applying early is an advantage.
First, after reading this document, fill out the Community Partners application form.
There is no fee or prerequisite for the application. Filling out the application does not create any agreement, obligation, or cost.
You should receive a response with follow-up questions, approvals, or declines within ten business days.
If approved, you will receive further information about the program, have an opportunity to ask more questions, and receive a simple agreement outlining benefits and responsibilities.
After the agreement is digitally signed, you are officially confirmed and can begin planning your participation at the conference.
All Community Partners will still have to arrange and support the cost of their travel and lodging.
Community Partners are offered significantly discounted rates on Registration and Exhibitor packages, well below public rates.
These discounts vary depending on an organization’s size and budget. The discount rates will be determined based on your application, and shared in the application response.
While all registrations include access to the educational conference tracks, Expo Hall, Deep Space, and most other general conference features. Some registration add-ons, such as food & beverage, workshops, CE/CME units, other features may incur additional costs.
For exhibitors, in addition to baseline costs, booths that contain elaborate features or extensive builds may need to contract with the conference’s General Services Contractor for exhibitor services. These services would be offered at the same rate as all other exhibitors, which the conference does not control or receive any portion of. (The Colorado Convention Center is a union facility and most forms of manual and technical work can only be performed by union members.)
We will do our best to ensure that all Community Partners understand the total cost of their participation in the conference.
The Community Partners application form is simple and requires no special preparation, beyond reviewing this FAQ section. You will be asked the following questions:
- Contact name and email address
- Organization name, mission, and website
- Areas of focus and activities
- Legal entity name, address
- Budget range, team size, and funding model
- Marketing reach range
Thank you for reading to the very bottom. You can fill out the application form here.
If you still have questions about the Community Partners program after reading this document, you can contact us at cp@psychedelicscience.org.
