The IGF Conversation

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 next iteration of the IGF Conversation is fully virtual, and taking place on July 19th 14.00 UK Time. It will be focused on the Invictus Games Foundation's activities beyond the Games.
