The Invictus Games Foundation Announces Next IGF Conversation Titled 'Building the Legacy' with Invictus Australia
The Invictus Games Foundation (IGF) is delighted to announce the next instalment of its IGF Conversations series: “The IGF Conversation with Invictus Australia: Building the Legacy.” The event will take place virtually on Tuesday, 18 November at 18:00 AEDT / 07:00 GMT / 08:00 CET.
This special edition will be hosted live from the Sydney headquarters of our partners at Invictus Australia (IA), marking the first time an IGF Conversation has been delivered from across the globe.
Strengthening the Legacy of the Games
Invictus Australia was the first legacy organisation formed after hosting the Invictus Games in Sydney in 2018. Since then, IA has continued to deliver year-round adaptive sport and rehabilitation programmes for veterans and their families across the country.
This upcoming IGF Conversation will explore how Invictus Australia’s model exemplifies the long-term legacy the Games can leave behind, where sustainable and community-based recovery opportunities are created to support the local wounded, injured or sick service personnel and veteran after the Games are finished.
The discussion aligns with the Invictus Games Foundation’s newly released strategy to build a truly global Movement and that we can ensure recovery through sport continues beyond the Games.
Sharing Lessons from the Global Invictus Community
During the panel, representatives from multiple former Host nations will share their experiences of developing post-Games legacy initiatives: the challenges they faced, the successes they’ve achieved, and how these lessons continue to shape the wider Invictus Movement.
We’ll also hear from the Foundation's lead global partner, Boeing, who play a key role in supporting community-based sports programmes Beyond the Games.
Insights will be drawn from IGF and IA research highlighting the impact of these initiatives on the wider Invictus Community from improving wellbeing and connection, to strengthening the sense of belonging among WIS and veterans.
