But First, What's RiseUp?

RiseUp at Money20/20 is an annual global program that answers the call to champion more diversity across the money ecosystem. We provide women on their journey to leadership with the network, tools and techniques needed to help them strategically advance their career and reach new heights. RiseUp is an explicitly inclusive program for all who identify as women.

  • 85% felt more prepared for promotion after RiseUp
  • 95% felt the RiseUp network helped progress their career/opened new opportunities
