By Laurie Haws posted 01-09-2025 01:28 PM

  

The SOT Annual Meeting and ToxExpo continues to evolve, thanks to the invaluable feedback our members share each year. Insights from the 2024 Post-Meeting Survey were pivotal in shaping enhancements to the upcoming 2025 event. We’re excited to share both the continuing improvements inspired by your feedback and some brand-new experiences designed to elevate your meeting experience.

New Experiences for the 2025 Annual Meeting and ToxExpo

  • Smoothie Schmooze
    An hour dedicated to networking with ToxExpo exhibitors while enjoying smoothies.

  • Poster Labeling
    A revamped labeling method for poster boards will make it easier for attendees to locate the science that matters most to them.

  • Session Format
    A new session type will emphasize discussion and engagement over traditional presentations.

  • Poster Timing
    Author-Attended Poster Sessions will no longer overlap with lunchtime, allowing for uninterrupted networking and learning opportunities.

Key Changes Made in Previous Years Based on Post-Meeting Surveys

  • All-Day Posters
    Posters are now displayed all day, allowing attendees to explore science at their convenience—even if they miss the dedicated Poster Session.

  • Shorter Sessions
    To provide more flexibility, 90-minute Symposia and Workshop Sessions were added to the scientific program.

  • Tiny Tox Talks
    Piloted during the virtual meeting in 2021, these quick, bite-sized presentations are now a regular feature.

  • Alternative Seating
    Round and tall tables are now part of session rooms, ensuring space for late arrivals or those who desire a different seating option.

  • Integrated Posters
    Poster boards were intermingled with exhibit booths in 2024 to create a seamless blend of science and networking opportunities.

As we approach the 2025 Annual Meeting and ToxExpo, we’ll continue to share more details about what you can expect. These changes reflect our commitment to listening to your feedback and incorporating it into every aspect of the meeting.

The SOT Annual Meeting remains a pivotal event for toxicology professionals around the globe, and with your engagement, the 2025 meeting is set to reach new heights.
