CORPORATIONS, PEOPLE & THE PLANET ANNOUNCEMENT

26 March 2012

It is with much regret that the organisers of Corporations, People & the Planet 2012 have announced the event has been postponed to 2013. Sigourney Weaver has cancelled her appearance at this year's event citing filming commitments.

After consultation, the event's organisers have decided that postponement is the best available course of action under the circumstances. Ms Weaver has personally expressed her disappointment in being unable to travel to Melbourne to participate in Corporations, People & the Planet. The organisers are disappointed at this outcome and acknowledge the inconvenience caused to the supporters of this event.

Corporations, People & the Planet would like to assure all concerned that we are committed to staging this vitally important event in 2013.

We would also like to thank the public for the overwhelming support they have shown for Corporations, People & the Planet.

All ticket purchases will be refunded.
