THE 1st TOKYO INTERNATIONAL
SPORTS MEDICINE INNOVATION FORUM

CONCEPT : “3i”

1.INTERNATIONAL Forum with a long term vision

TRADITIONAL APPROACH
  • Practically planned and managed by outsourcing businesses  (Strictly patterned structure → same style with same programs for every year)
  • Lacking the master-concept and continuity behind each year’s event
  • Rarely grows as an international society

Tokyo ISM innovation
  • HAND-MADE FORUM COMBINING OUR OWN EFFORTS AND EXPERIENCES
  • CONSISTENT CONCEPT THROUGHOUT THE EVENTS TAKING PART BEYOND 2020
  • AIMING DOWN THE ROAD AN INTERNATIONAL FORUM IN WHICH SPORTS MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD COME AND EXCHANGE OPINIONS AND INFORMATION
  

2.INNOVATIVE Forum pioneering the future by understanding the present situation

TRADITIONAL APPROACH
  • Many achievement-oriented presentations and almost the same contents every year
  • Filled more with self-expressions than innovative proposals for athletes’ future
  • More of biased discussions by doctors far apart from the sports field

Tokyo ISM innovation
  • OFFER OPPORTUNITIES TO DISCUSS THE PRESENT SITUATION AND THE FUTURE VISION RATHER THAN FOCUSING ON THE PAST
  • LOOK FOR THE BEST AND INNOVATIVE DIRECTIONS FOR THE ATHLETES WITH A KEEN SENSE OF HUMILITY
  • ORIGINATING IN THE SPORTS FIELD, LET THE PROFESSIONALS IN THE SPORTS MEDICAL FIELD TAKES THE INITIATIVE OF DEBATES
  

3.INTERACTIVE Forum standing on the side of the athletes

TRADITIONAL APPROACH
  • Unilateral lectures where all that participants can do is just listening
  • Not many participants are allowed to speak out different opinions
  • In the end, the opinion of the main speaker becomes recognized as “the trustable opinion”
  • Discussions just by the chairman and a few presentators
  • Too many self-assertive presentations where speakers are often reluctant to take different opinions and visions in bilateral discussions
  • Rare coverage of the opinions from the sports field with true perspectives of the athletes

Tokyo ISM innovation
  • CONVERSATION-STYLE PRESENTATIONS CONSCIOUSLY SOUGHT IN RESPONSE TO THE REACTION FROM THE AUDIENCE
  • STANDING ON THE SIDE OF THE ATHLETES, RESPECT OPINIONS AND IDEASFROM EACH DISCIPLNE
  • EFFICIENT USE OF THE SURROUNDING WALL TO CREATE A RELAXING ENVIRONMENT FOR THE PRESENTATION
  • WITH THE SPORTS FIELD AND ATHLETES ALWAYS IN THE FIRST PRIORITY, ACHIEVE BILATERAL DICSUSSIONS IN A SHARED SENSE OF UNITY FILLING THE SPACE
  • IMPLEMENT A SMART PHONE APP FOR THE AUDIENCE AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DISUSSIONS, BY WHICH THEIR THOUGHTS AND IDEAS ARE DISPLAYED AND SHARED ON THE REALTIME BASIS
  • SPEAKERS SIT AND TALK ON A SOFA AND PARTICIPANTS TALK OVE COFFEE TO EXCHANGE THEIR IDEAS IN A RELAXING ENVIRONMENT
