Every ToxExpo exhibiting organization receives a ToxExpo Directory listing. To add and change content to your ToxExpo Directory listing, as well as pay an invoice and register booth personnel, requires that a contact with Exhibitor Hub access log into the ToxExpo website. Contacts with Exhibitor Hub access are your organization's primary contact, secondary contact, and invoice contact only.

If you are your organization's primary, secondary, or invoice contact, you may log into your Exhibitor Hub as follows:

Step 1: Click on the "Exhibitor Log In" button located in the upper right of the ToxExpo website.

Step 2: Enter your email address and password.

If this is the first time logging in to the ToxExpo website, enter your email address and select "Forgot Password/First Time Login".

Step 3: Enter your email address again and check "I'm not a robot" then click on "Submit". An email will be sent to you with instructions on how to reset the password. Keep in mind, the password entered is not collected by SOT. If the password is forgotten, a password reset will be necessary.

Step 4: Click on "Access Exhibitor Hub" under the CURRENT EXHIBITORS tab to enter your organization's Exhibitor Hub. 

Once logged into the ToxExpo website and in your Exhibitor Hub, you'll be able to:

If you are not one of these contacts and need access, you'll need to contact your organization's primary contact or send a request to SOT_Exhibits@toxicology.org.

The Society of Toxicology has contracted with vendors for the Annual Meeting and ToxExpo to provide services to ToxExpo exhibitors. The list of vetted and approved vendors by SOT appear on the Exhibitor Services and Ordering Information webpage and in the Shepard online ordering system ExhibitorPro (coming soon).

Shepard Exposition Services (Shepard) is the official general exposition services contractor for ToxExpo and will have a service desk during installation and throughout the exhibit hours. The Shepard customer service desk will be in the ToxExpo Exhibitor Services Center located in the rear of the exhibit hall to help with ordering carpet, furniture, labor, and other services.

Exhibiting organizations using employees from an Exhibitor Appointed Contractor (EAC), also referred to as Independent or Third-Party Contractors, to install and dismantle displays must complete the Exhibitor Appointed Contractor registration in the Shepard online ordering system ExhibitorPro (coming soon) and provide the required Certificate of Insurance by February 27, 2026. It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to remind their EACs that all services must be performed in accordance with ToxExpo Rules and Regulations. The solicitation of other exhibitors by EAC employees is prohibited.

EAC employees will not need full-conference registration badges but will be issued date-specific identification lapel stickers for exhibit hall access during installation and dismantling. EAC employees will be required to report to a designated labor entry area located at the loading dock at the San Diego Convention Center to receive the date-specific lapel sticker, which must be worn while working in the exhibit hall.

ExhibitorPro (coming soon) is the online ordering system provided by Shepard and replaces the traditional Exhibitor Service Manual. ExhibitorPro is where you will order booth furnishings, electricity, and other services for your booth. Contact information for all SOT official service providers is also included. 

How do I order services such as electricity, internet, audiovisual, floral, catering, and more? 
Order information can be found on the Exhibitor Services and Ordering Information webpage as well as included in ExhibitorPro (coming soon). These services are not provided as part of your exhibit space fee and must be ordered at the exhibitor's expense.

Packages sent via USPS, UPS, Federal Express, or any other carrier going directly to the San Diego Convention Center must be sent to the attention of Shepard Exposition Services using the Direct Shipping Label, which will be provided in the online ordering system ExhibitorPro (coming soon).

Packages sent directly to the San Diego Convention Center without the required labeling may result in loss or return delivery and a rerouting fee may be charged to the exhibitor. The San Diego Convention Center will not accept packages at any time and will not be responsible for storing any exhibitor materials.

Freight picked up after ToxExpo by any carrier must be arranged by the exhibitor and each piece of freight must be labeled. Additional details will be provided in the online ordering system ExhibitorPro (coming soon).
