BIG SKY SPORTS MEDICINE CONFERENCE
BSATSMC to become BSSMC
As the Executive Director of the Big Sky Athletic Training Sports Medicine Conference, I have decided to change the name of our event to the Big Sky Sports Medicine Conference. This decision was not taken lightly, but after careful consideration and feedback from our attendees, we feel that the new name better reflects the diverse range of professionals who attend our conference. While our conference has traditionally focused on athletic training, we recognize that sports medicine encompasses a broader spectrum of specialties and interests, including neurology, therapy, rehabilitation, sports science, exercise physiology, orthopedics, and more. By broadening our scope, we hope to attract a wider audience and facilitate more meaningful connections and collaborations among attendees. We are excited about this new chapter in our conference’s history and look forward to welcoming both old and new attendees to the Big Sky Sports Medicine Conference.
2024 BSATSMC Dates will be January 20th – 25th, 2024
The new dates for 2024 will be January 21st through January 25th, 2024. Contract negotiations with Big Sky Resort are in progress with emphasis on more affordable housing. More information will be posted on this website as it becomes available.
The 2023 BSATSMC was another successful meeting. Thanks to our attendees, speakers, sponsors and especially to the outstanding collaboration from Dr. Jeff Kutcher of the Kutcher Clinic and Dr. Geoffrey Baer from the University of Wisconsin, on bringing in well known quality speakers for Concussions and Orthopedic issues.
