18th Consumers International World Congress
Luna Park, Sydney, Australia 29 October - 1 November 2007About Congress 2007
Consumer demands for corporate transparency, accountability and responsibility have never been so pressing. This event will focus on four key areas within an accountability theme: the impact of consumption on our planet, marketing, credit and debt, and what we eat.
Congress topics
- Sustainable Consumption
- The Obesity Pandemic
- The Ethics of Drug Promotion
- Consumer Credit and Debt
Each key area will be explored in a half-day session of plenaries and sub-plenaries. The programme has been developed with a view to providing delegates the opportunity to hear from internationally renowned experts, engage in insightful debates, and attend action-orientated workshops showcasing the work of consumer organisations around the world.
