The SOT Annual Meeting is the largest meeting of its kind. This annual event features a broad range of scientific sessions and a thematic program that provides participants with a unique opportunity to deepen their knowledge in topical areas and interact with leaders in their respective disciplines. The scientific program includes a plenary session, the MRC Lecture, symposia, workshops, roundtable discussions, informational sessions, regional sessions, as well as platform and poster sessions. The Society anticipates that more than 6,500 toxicologists from more than 50 countries will attend. The SOT Annual Meeting also features the ToxExpo, which is the largest exhibition dedicated to toxicology and the biomedical sciences. The exhibition features 350 exhibitors, exhibitor-hosted sessions, and the opportunity to debut cutting-edge products, services, and technologies.
Innovative Perspectives
The SOT Annual Meeting provides the most complete and in-depth coverage of toxicology. The Scientific Program Committee’s (SPC) mission is to devise a scientific program that covers the diverse areas of science that toxicology encompasses. The meeting is the venue for toxicologists to learn about the scientific advances that have taken place over the past 12 months. The Scientific Program Committee reviews more than 2,500 abstracts to deliver the most comprehensive and up-to-date program imaginable.
In-Depth Analysis
The Scientific Program Committee has devised a thematic program that encompasses five themes of topical interest. This year, these themes are:
- Advancing Clinical and Translational Toxicology
- Approaches for Protecting Vulnerable Populations
- Epigenomic Influences in Toxicological Responses
- Safety Assessment Approaches for Product Development
- Strategies for Exposure and Risk Assessments
Countless Networking Opportunities
With more than 6,500 toxicologists from more than 50 countries in attendance, this five-day event allows everyone the opportunity to network with colleagues and leading scientists from around the world.
A Global Audience
