The first step in achieving our industry’s full potential is sparking an industry-wide diversity and inclusion movement, and that spark starts at Money20/20 USA.To ensure that this community serves as an agent of change for the wider fintech and financial services landscape, this year, we're excited to introduce AMPLIFY. Through this four-day, curated program, we'll increase visibility and cultivate unparalleled connections for black, brown, and people of color within Financial Services.
The AMPLIFY program focuses on:
Have a read at what some of our 2021 cohort had to say about our AMPLIFY program.
"The Amplify program was great. The recognition received amongst your peers is always appreciated and for me it provided me access to a conference with a wealth of domain experts and industry leaders I hadn’t yet encountered in person. Most of all it gave me community, the individuals I connected with through the program I am still in contact with and plan to continue to not just build strong working relationships but lifelong friendships. I look forward to being a resource for the next cohort."

"Amplify was such an empowering moment for me - because I was able to surround myself with inspiring voices doing incredible work, and because it allowed me to connect with a deeply important aspect of my identity as a Latina founder. I appreciate the opportunity to bring my whole self to our industry, and even more so when a group of us rises together. This is only the beginning of what I hope is a momentous change in the visibility of BIPOC across the financial sector."

"Being selected for Money 20/20’s Amplify program in 2021 allowed me to network with other professionals and executives in Fintech that I might not have met. It is always great to meet others in the Fintech ecosystem who look like you and understand your journey of color. I came back even more motivated to continue to ensure my company is helping to build a more inclusive future in financial services and beyond"
