We are excited to share new and enhanced offerings to our 2025 ToxExpo exhibitors.

NEW IMPROVEMENT: To simplify the ordering process and create a more intuitive, seamless exhibitor experience, the ToxExpo Online Ordering Platform has replaced the traditional Exhibitor Service Manual PDF and is now live for you to order your booth furnishings, shipping, material handling, and labor from Shepard Exposition Services as well as other services, like audiovisual, electrical, lead retrieval, etc. Be sure to order early to take advantage of discount pricing for everything you need for your ToxExpo booth.
 
IMPORTANT REMINDER: SOT does not provide exhibit booths with carpet. All exhibits must have one solid piece of approved carpet or interlocking flooring in place by 5:00 pm, Sunday, March 16, 2025. If your exhibit space does not have acceptable flooring, carpet will be installed at your expense.
 
NEW NETWORKING OPPORTUNITY: To offer attendees and exhibitors more networking time during the SOT 64th Annual Meeting and ToxExpo, the afternoon break in the ToxExpo exhibit hall on Tuesday, March 18, has been extended with no Scientific Sessions programmed on the schedule. This new extended break called the "Smoothie Schmooze" will be a perfect opportunity for attendees and exhibitors to connect while enjoying a delicious smoothie. 

NEW SERVICE: For a fast and simple way to submit your proof of insurance (Certificate of Insurance) or to order the required insurance to exhibit at ToxExpo, click here by February 21, 2025. Once on the Exhibitorinsurance.com site, click on either "Upload Certificate" or "Order Insurance", search for Event Name "SOT 64th Annual Meeting and ToxExpo" and then follow the prompts.

      IMPORTANT: All exhibitors are required to maintain insurance coverage and submit a Certificate of Insurance.
