Annual Meeting Sponsorship Demonstrates Support of
SOT’s Mission
Annual Meeting Sponsorship serves as visible evidence of the commitment of your organization to the Society's mission of "creating a safer and healthier world by advancing the science of toxicology." Moreover, sponsorship provides an opportunity for private, public, and not-for-profit organizations to increase overall awareness of their services and programs among SOT members and Annual Meeting attendees. The Society of Toxicology (SOT) Annual Meeting is the largest toxicology meeting and exhibition in the world, attracting more than 6,500 scientists from industry, academia, and government.
Sponsors are listed in publications related to the Annual Meeting, including the Preliminary Program, final Program, pre- and post-meeting newsletters, and the ToxExpo™ Directory.The SOT Annual Meeting Web site, an essential go-to source of information for all registrants, also prominently lists Annual Meeting Sponsors. During the Annual Meeting, acknowledgement signs, which group sponsors by the level of giving, are displayed prominently at many of the SOT functions, and Annual Meeting Sponsor listings are included in the SOT presentations in all session rooms. In appreciation for their support of the Society, representatives from the sponsoring organizations are invited to the SOT President's Reception.
There are four levels of sponsorship available, as follows:
- Diamond ($10,000 or more)
- Platinum ($5,000–$9,999)
- Gold ($2,500–$4,999)
- Silver ($1,000–$2,499)
In 2010, a number of new benefits for Diamond Level Sponsors have been added to enhance recognition of their participation. For example, a special thank you via an “Annual Meeting Sponsor Acknowledgement” broadcast e-mail will be sent to all Annual Meeting registrants, and your generous contribution will have heightened visibility at the 2010 Annual Meeting. Among the other benefits, each Diamond Level Sponsor will have a Prize-Drawing box in their booth at the ToxExpo™ for the SOT Prize Drawings—one $500 prize awarded per day during the show. Attendees will stop by your booth to drop their business cards in the box.
For details about each level, please visit the Sponsorship Opportunities. Additional information on sponsorship and marketing opportunities for exhibitors is available at ToxExpo.com.
Your sponsorship helps SOT keep registration fees low thereby enabling the Society to attract more than 6,500 attendees to the Annual Meeting. Your sponsorship also will help offset the cost of functions such as the: Minority Student Program, Undergraduate Program, Student/Postdoctoral Scholar events, Continuing Education Program, Public Outreach, and the Welcoming Reception.
