We sincerely thank you for your continued participation in and support of the activities of the Takai IVR Live Symposium (TIP).
The Organizing Committee has decided to postpone the 4th Takai IVR Live Symposium (TIP), originally scheduled for Friday, December 4, and Saturday, December 5, 2026, indefinitely.
We sincerely apologize to all those who were planning to attend.
The Takai IVR Live Symposium (TIP) relies on the cooperation of faculty members, sponsoring companies, and live-streaming staff to organize its events. However, following reports of inappropriate remarks and behavior—potentially constituting power harassment—at previous events, the Organizing Committee has conducted careful deliberations and decided to postpone the event indefinitely.
To prevent similar concerns from arising in the future, we are committed to reviewing and improving our conduct and communication across all our activities, including our daily clinical practice.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
