The star-studded summit included a lunch hosted by California's first lady Maria Shriver and a performance by Natalie Cole. Sarah Brown, wife of UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, was also in attendance, along with Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Jessica Alba, Naomi Campbell, Kristen Davis, Sharon Stone, Robin Wright-Penn, Maria Bello and Diane Lane.
