Amplify
Empowering People Of Color And Underrepresented Leaders
What's Amplify?
Amplify was launched in 2021 at Money20/20 USA and has since been rolled out in Europe as well. Through this program, we provide people of color and underrepresented communities, with the network, tools and techniques needed to help them strategically advance their career and reach new heights. Since inception, we have had 190+ candidates from around the world as part of our cohort, with 60% being people of colour or latinx, and 1% having disabilities.
Applications are now closed, we look forward to reopening applications and seeing yours next year - keep an eye on the website for when we open again or contact us at DBT@money2020.com
