(CNN) – Sarah Palin's speech to investors in China later this month will be closed to the media, organizers of the event confirmed to CNN Monday.
The former Alaska governor is set to address the annual CLSA Investors' Forum September 23, though the group is also declining to reveal the topic of the former GOP vice presidential candidate's closed-door speech.
"We are not disclosing the topic of Sarah Palin's presentation at this point," said Simone Wheeler, head of communications for CLSA.
Wheeler said much of the four-day forum, which includes more than 200 presentations, is closed to the media except for a handful of keynote addresses where the speakers have specifically allowed members of the press to be invited.
Palin, whose lack of foreign policy credentials was criticized by Democrats during the 2008 campaign, apparently was not among those speakers willing to grant members of the media access to her speech.
"For keynote presentations, it is the speaker's decision as to whether or not their sessions are closed. Several of our keynotes this year are not open to media," Wheeler said.
There has been speculation Palin could receive upwards of six figures on the speaking circuit, though the organization is remaining tight-lipped on that matter.
"We never disclose if, or how much, our speakers are remunerated," Wheeler said

She’s going to make (and raise) a ton of money over the next few years in speaking appearances.
Of course good ole Communist's Cretins and Nuts would say something like that, I hope she locks these Enemies of America out permanently.
Yep, why cheapen her “brand” by letting a hostile media intrude into a private speaking engagement. Her speaking fees will only go up as she becomes more in demand.
CLSA to host Sarah Palin at 16th CLSA Investors’ Forum

THIS PRESENTATION IS OPEN ONLY TO CLSA CLIENTS REGISTERED TO ATTEND THE FORUM
Hong Kong, 31 August 2009 - CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, Asia’s leading independent brokerage and investment group, will host the former Governor of Alaska and Republican vice-presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, in her first international speaking engagement outside North America.

I think it’s good that this event is closed to the media! This way, they won’t be able to twist everything Sarah says into a lie.
Typical for CNN to be moaning about their denied access.
The State Run Media is so transparent.
Go Sarah! I will be interested to see a transcript of it if she releases one later.
Something tells me that if Guv Palin ever gets elected POTUS, several Lie-Stream Media agencies, are going to find themselves “Murphy Browned” right out of the White House Press Pool. >BoD
Would they cover it if they could?
Fine. I trust her and probably know what she has to say anyway. People who tell the truth stay consistent.
Liars keep changing their stories and need to be monitored—like when they want to talk to your kid without you being there...
KA-CHING
She is a private citizen. Do we have to have the media listen to our speeches?
This is America and there is freedom of speech. Let’s keep it.
CNN can't help itself with it's PDS.
good lock them out.
We need Sarah to lead a movement. We need Sarah and those who support her to form a party-within-a-party to help conservatives take over the GOP. End the open primaries so effectively used by Soros to nominate our candidates for us.
We need our own pre-primaries so we can have a single candidate running against these RINO’s in the GOP. We need out own local councils, state assemblies, national convention, fundraising mechanisms that do not give squat to RINO’s.
We need our own online TV channels and other media that cannot be controlled by those outside it. Those 9/12 marchers are the people who could form a core of the new GOP.
If you think Sarah scares them, if you think 9/12 rattled them, then wait until we set up the party-within-a-party. And we won’t talk to the MSM about it either.
Yeah... and a commie raised and born kenyan, usurping, muslim, racist, community organizer with no job experience and absolutely no foreign policy experience beyond his islamic travels, was just what the dims ordered... and beyond giving everything away to our enemies, granting them FULL CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, surrendering in the WOT, and failing in his attempts to make nicey nice with evil... his foreign policy track record... not so good.
GOOD FOR SARAH... SCREW THE MEDIA!
LLS
That should drive the DBM nuts.
Does this mean they might have to cover the ACRIME story??
Pray for America
Wonder how many NEW clients and registration this will produce.
Changing minds and winning hearts all over the world...My Girl.
