About

Amplify Network is the newly formed non-profit association hosting Dining Out for Life and the annual conference associated with the event. We created the network to bring together professionals serving the HIV community in the United States and Canada.

Our network of local HIV service organizations and professionals positively impacts the lives of over 500,000 individuals living with HIV in the United States and Canada each year. This represents nearly half of all persons living with HIV in the U.S.

Together, we possess extensive knowledge about the most effective methods to achieve goals and create a lasting impact. We convene multiple times each year and collaborate year-round. Through the collaboration of our vast network, members gain tools and insights to work smarter and stronger at the local level.
