About the event

Character Media proudly presents the 21st annual Unforgettable Gala, the Asian Pacific Islander Awards extravaganza fondly known as UNFO. This black-tie, by-invitation-only event celebrates and commemorates API celebrities, influencers and leaders who have significantly contributed to entertainment, arts and culture. Held at the Beverly Hilton, the annual awards gala is attended by more than 700 guests, representing some of the most influential entertainers, leaders, and API-led brands and businesses. 

Recognizing the past year’s successes, this year’s Unforgettable Gala will go global for the first time! To expand its international reach, UNFO will partner with AsiaLab, an entertainment and content platform that seeks to facilitate “One Asia” through collaborations with API stars and influencers. UNFO plans to expand its awards categories to honor more international members of the community.

The upcoming event is set to attract coverage from major media outlets across print, online, broadcast TV and radio platforms. Gala attendees enjoy a three-course gourmet dinner while enjoying special moments on stage by honorees, live entertainment, and exclusive performances throughout the night. An elaborate hosted bar and more live music continue at an incredible after-party to cap off the truly unforgettable night.
