The International Achievers Awards and International Fashion Gala will be held in Chicago on Jan. 23, bringing the combined awards and fashion event to the United States for the first time.
The program, organized by Being Muskaan Events, will be hosted at Holiday Inn & Suites Skokie.
The event is intended to bring together professionals, creatives, and entrepreneurs from different regions to recognize achievements across multiple sectors, alongside an international fashion showcase.

The awards will focus on professional contribution and measurable impact, with both established figures and emerging achievers expected to be represented.
The International Fashion Gala 2026, featuring runway presentations by designers from multiple countries, will showcase collections that combine traditional influences with contemporary design, reflecting a range of cultural aesthetics.
Chicago was chosen as the venue due to its multicultural character, established innovation ecosystem, and accessibility for international visitors through O’Hare International Airport. Organizers said the city’s central location and infrastructure make it suitable for hosting a global-format event with participants from the U.S. and abroad.
Being Muskaan Events is led by Meena Asrani, who founded the platform in the UAE. “Our mission is to empower dreamers, honor dedication, and uplift global talent,” Asrani said, outlining the objectives of the awards initiative.
Suresh Bodiwala, chairman and founder of Asian Media USA, said platforms such as the International Achievers Awards help bridge communities across borders. "In these fractured times, platforms like the International Achievers Awards serve as powerful compasses, guiding us back to our common aspirations and infinite possibilities," he said.
The Chicago event represents an expansion of the platform beyond the Middle East and signals plans to host future editions in other regions. Participation details and registration information have been released by Being Muskaan Events, with attendance subject to limited capacity.
