SOT Annual Meeting
Your Invitation
to Attend
The Society of Toxicology (SOT) 51st Annual
Meeting is the largest toxicology meeting and
exhibition in the world, with an expected
attendance of more than 7,500 scientists from
academia, government, and industry from
various countries around the globe. From
the Plenary Opening and featured lectures
to the wide range of scientific sessions and
Continuing Education courses, the Annual
Meeting offers an unparalleled depth of analysis
on relevant toxicological issues. From
basic to advanced topical issues, the thematic
approach provides each attendee an opportunity
to learn about emerging fields. Whether
you are speaking in or chairing a session,
honoring a colleague as the recipient of an
SOT award, or collaborating with your peers
at an SOT event, this meeting has something
for every attendee. Plenary speakers include
Dr. Leroy Hood (Institute for Systems Biology,
Seattle, Washington) and Witold Filipowicz
(Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical
Research, Basel, Switzerland).
You will want to attend because…
Cutting-Edge Science and Innovative
Perspectives: The SOT Annual Meeting
provides the most complete and in-depth
coverage of toxicology. The SOT Scientific
Program Committee is charged with creating
a thought-provoking and dynamic program
that captures all the latest scientific advances
that have occurred during the past 12 months.
The Committee reviews more than 2,700
abstracts to come up with a final program
that is highly relevant, multidimensional, and
comprehensive in scope.
Depth of Analysis: Five scientific themes will
allow attendees to gain depth of analysis:
• Aberrant Gene Expression in Toxicity and
Disease—Epigenetics and microRNAs
• Characterizing Toxic Modes of Action and
Pathways to Toxicity
• Influence of Global Climate Change on
Environmental Health Issues
• Clinical Toxicology from Bedside to the
Bench and Back
• Regulatory Science: Bridging the
Gap between Discovery and Product
Availability
The Continuing Education Courses highlight
two additional target areas:
• Drug Metabolism
• Noncoding RNAs and Their Role in
Biology and Toxicology
Untold Networking Opportunities: The
five days that attendees participate in the
SOT Annual Meeting offer a wide range
of networking opportunities for everyone.
In a congenial and welcoming atmosphere,
Annual Meeting attendees can join in deliberations
about the latest scientific research,
meet old friends during the receptions and
luncheons, make new friends while visiting
the ToxExpo, or attend one of the many scientific
sessions throughout the week.
ToxExpo—A Great Opportunity for Exhibitors
We’ve Got the Numbers You Want
We are expecting to attract more than 7,500 scientists and industry
professionals to attend SOT’s 51st Annual Meeting and ToxExpo.
What better opportunity to…
• meet face-to-face,
• build relationships with new prospects, and
• network with other exhibiting companies.
New Faces/New Leads Every Year
Research shows that 55% of the professional toxicologists who will attend
the 2012 Annual Meeting and ToxExpo did not attend the 2011 Meeting in
Washington, DC.
Online Marketplace at ToxExpo.com
ToxExpo exhibitors are listed online year around to increase your visibility
and exposure to your target audience. It’s a rich resource for all the services
and products toxicologists need throughout the year.
ToxExpo Time!
In addition to the standard Exhibit Hall hours and poster presentation times,
one hour of dedicated ToxExpo Time has been allotted in the scientific
program for attendees to visit with exhibitors. ToxExpo Time will take place
on Wednesday, March 14, from 1:00 pm–2:00 pm.
