About the Event

Twelve years of
bringing people together.

This year we are expecting over 400 guests across an evening of keynote conversations, fine dining, live performances, and the annual Community Impact Awards.

Guest Voices

Words from those who were there.

A selection of reflections from guests who attended the 2025 edition of the Westside Gala.

The production quality of this gala is on a completely different level. From the floral arrangements to the sound system to the food, every single detail was considered. It felt like a world class event.

Guest, 2025

I met three people at last year's gala who have since become genuine business partners. The caliber of people in the room is unlike any other event I attend all year. Already registered for 2026.

Marcus Thompson
VIP Guest, 2025

We sponsored a table for the first time in 2025 and will be doing so again without hesitation. The exposure was excellent and our team had one of the best evenings of the year. Thoroughly recommended.
