A New Structure and a Wide Range of Science

For the 2027 Annual Meeting, the former Symposium, Workshop, and Roundtable formats have been consolidated into a single 75-minute Scientific Session category, providing room for a greater variety of topics within the Monday through Wednesday program.

The lineup covers areas such as artificial intelligence, new approach methodologies, exposomics, risk assessment, emerging environmental exposures, drug and medical device safety, and numerous other areas of toxicology.

The Program Is Still Taking Shape

Session Chairs are finalizing program details ahead of the final SPC review in mid-September. The complete Scientific Session schedule will be released in October 2026.

The program also will include Featured, Platform, and Poster Sessions, as well as the Continuing Education courses offered on Sunday, March 14.
