This was the Invictus Games Foundation’s twelfth iteration of The IGF Conversation; an event which is designed to promote the sharing of best practice on a range of relevant subjects within the Invictus Community through a combination of either online webinars and/or in person symposia. The intent is to encourage the exchange of views through informal discussions based on panels of relevant experts and Invictus Alumni including families, rather than formal presentations.

Categorisation (also called classification) systems are a fundamental part of adapted sports. While current systems seek to promote fair participation, they may also conversely prevent individuals experiencing diverse and complex physical and psychological illnesses and injuries from engaging in adapted sports. Drawing on the experiences and perspectives of stakeholders working with the Invictus Games Foundation, this paper describes the Invictus Games categorisation system, an innovative framework for non-elite adapted sport competition that seeks to integrate individuals experiencing these diverse conditions.
This special iteration of the IGF Conversation looked at the impact of the Invictus movement over the last 10 years since the inaugural Invictus Games London 2014 and how a global community has been created and empowered to allow greater recovery pathways for the wounded, injured or sick service community.
We regularly hold virtual or in person conferences to bring together the international community to address challenges and discuss solutions to recovery pathways. Whilst the IGF Conversation series was borne out of necessity to keep the Invictus community connected during the pandemic; it has evolved into a critical offering of support and engagement in our ‘beyond the games’ activity. Sharing best practice, shining a light on challenges and opportunities facing our global WIS community.
‘I am really genuinely looking forward to seeing how the IGF Conversations continue to develop and to bring this wonderful international community together’. – Kate Silverton, Host of The IGF Conversation: Employment and Employability.
The most recent iteration of the IGF Conversation was held at the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025. It focused on the role of the environment in shaping recovery and rehabilitation.
We'll be announcing the date for the next IGF Conversation very soon. Follow us on social media to stay up to date.
Through sharing best practice, we influence the development of research and knowledge around trauma recovery, rehabilitation, and the power of sport, in order to shift attitudes towards disability and mental health.
