Registration Information

Early Bird Registration

On-line and Early Bird Registration is strongly encouraged. The Annual Meeting Early Bird Registration deadline is January 21, 2011. The registration fee for the SOT Annual Meeting includes admission to all Scientific Sessions, Award Presentations, ToxExpo™, a copy of the Program, The Toxicologist on CD-ROM (abstracts), and the ToxExpo™ Directory.

Registration Materials

Register before January 21, 2011, and your badge, Program, and The Toxicologist on CD-ROM will be sent to you prior to the Annual Meeting. Your 2011 Annual Meeting registration badge must be presented to obtain access to any SOT functions.

When you arrive at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, please go to the registration area to pick up your ToxExpo™ Directory and registration badge.
