The Keio University Graduate School of System Design and Management (Keio SDM) will hold the public conference, KEIO SDM “SPORTS X” Conference 2017, at Hiyoshi Campus from Thursday, July 27 to Friday, July 28, 2017.
Now in its second year, the conference will be held under the theme of “Starting with Why?” and will feature lectures, panel discussions, and more. Aiming to revitalize the Japanese sports industry, the conference will present approaches to problem-solving from diverse perspectives and proposals for the future of sports.
This conference has been structured around the concept of “SPORTS x XX” since its inaugural year. This year, we have prepared a total of over 35 sessions over the two days, considering the differences in sports circumstances between Japan and overseas. The sessions will cover topics such as Sports x Marketing, Sports x Economics, Sports x Data/AI/IoT, and Sports x Community. We welcome media coverage and listings in your event calendars.
