The Southwestern city of Phoenix, Arizona provides a distinctive backdrop for the Society of Toxicology (SOT) 53rd Annual Meeting, March 23–27, 2014. Unique experiences await you at the Heard Museum for Native American art and culture, the Phoenix Art Museum, Arizona Science Center, and the Phoenix Zoo. You also can visit Taliesin West, which was legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home and school in the desert from 1937 until his death in 1959 at the age of 91.

Located in one of the lushest and most colorful deserts in the world, Phoenix, America’s sixth largest city, is the gateway to the Grand Canyon. It is said that in Phoenix “the sky is bigger…the stars are brighter…and the sunsets will stop you in your tracks.” You also will find an abundance of restaurants at which to sample regional dishes and there are elegant shopping areas and resorts.
