Australian Power Shift Conferences
Two years later in 2009, the Australian Youth Climate Coalition, in partnership with the University of Western Sydney, GetUp and Greenpeace, organised the Australian Power Shift Conference on July 11 to 13, 2009. Guests included the swimmer Ian Thorpe and the actress Brooke Satchwell. The event concluded with a gathering outside the Sydney Opera House.
In 2010, the AYCC has planned three Power Shift Conferences in Adelaide, Canberra and Geelong. In 2011, the AYCC is hosting Power Shift Conferences in Perth and Brisbane.
