The 12th Congress of the Pan-American Section of the International Society on Toxinology, will be held on 18th -23rd September 2016 at the Deauville Beach Resort in Miami Beach. Miami Beach is famous for having the largest collection of Art Deco architecture in the world, endless beaches, fantastic cuisine and nightlife, as well as being at the crossroads of the Americas. As such, South Florida is easily accessed by three international airports (MIA, FLL, PBI).
 
Prominent international figures in Toxinology and related disciplines will be attending this meeting, together with guest speakers who use toxins in an academic, industrial, or medical setting to explore important aspects of animal, plant, or microbial physiology.
 
Two of our main aims are to present high-quality seminars along with lively first-rate poster sessions. We would also like to encourage the formation of new networks between junior academics and non-academics as well as re-invigorating existing collaborations.
 
We cordially invite you to join us for what will be a most memorable meeting against the backdrop of South Beach, a lively Art Deco Historic district, and Latin music.
