Plans are underway for the 2016 Society of Toxicology (SOT) Annual Meeting in New Orleans. If your organization would like to reserve a room for a business or social event, you will need to submit an Ancillary Meeting Form to SOT Headquarters for approval. Ancillary functions may only be hosted by SOT Affiliates, Exhibitors, Supporters, or organizations otherwise associated with SOT. All ancillary functions are held outside of the New Orleans Convention Center in nearby hotels.*
Ancillary meeting spaces book fast—submit your request now! Only meeting requests made by December 4, 2015, will be listed on the Annual Meeting Calendar in the Program. If your organization plans on holding an off-property event, please let Amy Willis know by February 9, 2016. The Society would like to provide a listing of all SOT-related events to the city bureau and INA Security.

The goal of the Society is to create a safer and healthier world by advancing the science and impact of toxicology. To this end, the Society reserves the right to deny an Ancillary Meeting request from any organization whose objectives, or past actions, are deemed counterproductive to those of SOT.
