The ACT Abstract Submission System opened March 1, 2024.
The deadline to submit an abstract was June 1, 2024.
Notifications of acceptance will be sent the week of July 22, 2024.
The Program Committee will thoroughly review each abstract. All presenting authors must register for the Annual Meeting (full meeting registration is required; there are no exceptions) and display their printed poster in the Exhibit Hall during the Annual Meeting. Registration must be completed by August 1, 2024.
The Poster Session is on Monday, November 18, from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm (CT). Attendance at the Poster Session on November 18 is required. If the presenter fails to display their poster, the abstract submission will not appear in International Journal of Toxicology, the scientific journal of ACT. Presenting authors may present only one poster at the Annual Meeting, but there is no limit to the number of posters that someone may co-author. Priority of acceptance will be given to original research. Previously published abstracts, virtually or otherwise, will not be published in International Journal of Toxicology. ACT does not accept encore poster abstracts (i.e., a poster presented at any previous meetings).
The Poster Session will feature posters on a variety of topics, including general toxicology, regulatory toxicology, safety evaluation nonpharmaceuticals, safety evaluation pharmaceuticals, and toxicology methods. The Poster Session offers engagement between authors, exhibitors, and attendees, while showcasing some of the latest and most innovative work in the field. ACT award recipients’ posters will also be featured—be sure to look for these merited posters in the Exhibit Hall.
Posters should represent only scientific material and should not contain any marketing of a company, service, or product. The presenter may not engage in product detailing and may not direct participants to a particular exhibit, meeting, or other company-sponsored entity, website, activity, program, etc. All handout material must be limited to a one-page photocopy of the poster or abstract. ACT reserves the right to remove any material deemed outside the guidelines and does not accept responsibility for the loss of this property.
Posters will be removed if a poster contains material violating the guidelines expressed.
