The British Toxicology Society (BTS) invites all SOT members to attend the 2026 BTS Annual Congress, being held April 27–29, 2026, in Solihull, United Kingdom. Solihull is midway between Birmingham (one of the UK’s major cities and transport hubs) and Stratford-upon-Avon (the birthplace and hometown of William Shakespeare). 

This year’s Congress will feature a range of sessions and activities that will provide opportunities to advance knowledge, foster collaborations and explore emerging trends in toxicology.

The following Scientific Sessions will also run: 

  • AI in Action: Bridging Theory and Practice
