The fifth annual Gold Gala will be held at the Music Center in downtown Los Angeles on May 9. For the first time, the celebration of Asian Pacific culture will expand into a global platform for cultural power. Over 650 leaders across industries will be present at the event to honor the 2026 Gold100 List. The theme, A New Gold World, is a call for shared abundance in an era defined by division. The event will also feature presentations to special honorees for their contributions to culture, including Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Charles Melton, Jet Li, Simu Liu, Eileen Gu and more. The Gold Galas will be followed by the Billboard x Gold House Founders Party. The most influential Asian Pacific women will also attend the Gold Women Breakfast.
