Launched in 2023, New Voices: Amplify was designed to help creatives take charge of their careers and develop their voices. Speakers from across the TV industry and beyond came together to create a programme of talks and masterclasses designed to help new voices speak up.

From mastering pitches and PR to standing out in a crowd of talented content creators, our carefully curated programme gave attendees all the skills needed to go out there and get themselves heard. Speakers included Remel London, Rubina Pabani, Nathan Foad, Amelia Dimoldenberg, and Munya Chawawa.

Amplify has now grown into our annual New Voice Awards.
