Join us in Boston for #ACMT2026!

March 20-22, 2026 | Hilton Boston Park Plaza, Boston

The ACMT Annual Scientific Meeting is the American College of Medical Toxicology’s signature annual event. We invite you to join us at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza for 5 days of dynamic programming, fascinating research, and entertaining activities.

In addition to all the networking and social opportunities that make our events so rich with engagement, ACMT will continue with the new tradition of concurrent sessions offering more educational content than ever before!

Why Attend #ACMT2026?

ACMT’s Annual Scientific Meeting is a place where cutting-edge research meets the joy of community. As a highly specialized discipline, it might be a challenge to find places to share and experience the wealth of toxicological study. #ACMT2026 aims to create that central hub, for networking, socializing, and immersing yourself in the world of toxicology.

Join us in creating a one-of-a-kind global toxicology community!

Neil deGrasse Tyson & Scott Hamilton Kennedy

Science & Storytelling: An Essential Partnership for a Better World

Join world-renowned astrophysicist, bestselling author, and host of Cosmos and StarTalk, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Academy Award® nominee, writer and director, Scott Hamilton Kennedy, for the Bayer Lecture on March 21, at 12:00 PM.

How do we bridge the gap between expert knowledge and public understanding? How do we communicate complex science in ways that resonate? At a moment when truth, trust, and shared humanity are under strain – and when disinformation threatens public health, democracy, and the social contract itself – this session explores how one of humanity’s oldest tools can meet one of its most urgent challenges. 

Dr. Nabarun Dasgupta

Donovan Lecture: The Changing Landscape of American Drugs

ACMT is proud to welcome Dr. Nabarun Dasgupta, 2025 MacArthur “genius” Award winner and TIME100 Next rising global leader, as our Donovan Lecture speaker. As a street drug scientist and founder of the UNC Street Drug Analysis Lab, Dr. Dasgupta has tested nearly 20,000 drug samples from communities across the country, amplifying patient voices in public health. His pioneering work in overdose prevention, harm reduction, and addiction treatment—including co-founding Project Lazarus and Remedy Alliance For The People—has transformed how we understand and respond to the evolving drug supply.

Join us on March 21, 2026, at 9:00 AM as Dr. Dasgupta shares critical insights on the rapidly changing landscape of American drugs and what it means for clinical practice.

Open Mic Competition

The ACMT Open Mic Competition offers medical toxicology fellows-in-training, residents, and medical students the opportunity to give a lecture in a national forum where experienced speakers can offer insight on both content and delivery.

Any topic relevant to medical toxicology is appropriate—historical topics, mystery cases, molecular mechanisms, educational development, etc. Above all, we are looking for engaging speakers and interesting presentations. Presenters are chosen by a panel of evaluators. Proposals are evaluated on content and originality.

Deadline to apply is January 5, 2026.

MedTox Case Panel

The Education Committee invites Fellows-in-Training and ACMT Members to submit a case of a unique or interesting patient for presentation at the MedTox Case Panel: Case-Based Conundrums taking place during the 2026 ACMT Annual Scientific Meeting, March 18-22, 2025 in Boston.

Three cases will be selected for presentation and discussion by a panel of Medical Toxicology specialists. All cases will be considered, but there is a specific interest in complex or controversial management issues encountered by the medical toxicologist.

Deadline to apply is January 5, 2026.
