They will share insights regarding their innovative fan marketing strategies. Likewise, representatives from Chiba Jets Funabashi and Toshiba Brave Lupus Tokyo will discuss their approaches to sponsorship analysis and what makes their strategies successful.
The theme for this conference, “Stay Ahead: Leading in Sports Business,” emphasizes the importance of remaining at the forefront of the sports industry. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with distinguished speakers from both domestic and international backgrounds, exploring a variety of topics such as sports marketing, strategies in Asia, collaborations between sports and intellectual properties (IP), and modern sponsorship tactics.
Attendees at the Tokyo venue can expect exhibition booths from sports-related companies, providing further opportunities for networking among participants and speakers alike. For those joining online, the event will be live-streamed, enabling access to both live sessions and archived content.
