  • Sharing the Invictus Spirit -13 May 2020 Executive Summary On
    Invictus Games Foundation Conversation Webinar: Sharing the Invictus Spirit -13 May 2020 Executive Summary On Wednesday, 13 May 2020 the Invictus Games Foundation conducted an inaugural webinar in its Conversation series entitled ‘Sharing the Invictus Spirit’. Originally this event was planned to be held immediately prior to the start of the Invictus Games The Hague during the period 9-16 May 2020 which had to be postponed and rescheduled to take place in 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result, the event was switched to be online in the format of a webinar. In part, the intent was to mark the period when the Invictus Games would have taken place in May 2020 and to recognise the firm commitment of the competitors and their family and friends and, in part, it was designed to maintain the momentum until the rescheduled Invictus Games in The Hague in 2021. The Invictus Games Foundation is indebted to the invaluable support provided by Ascot Rehab, the Fisher House Foundation and ISPS Handa in enabling the Conversation. It is also delighted that the webinar was attended by circa 275 people drawn from across the international community including the 20 Participating Nations of the Invictus Games. The aim of the IGF Conversation was to address, across an international audience, relevant issues in the recovery and rehabilitation of Wounded, Injured and sick (WIS) Service personnel and veterans in order to share best practice and assist in building an enduring, future impact from the continuing evolution of the Invictus Games. The key themes of the Invictus Games Foundation Conversation were: 1.
