LONDON – BP chief executive Tony Hayward has canceled his appearance at a London oil conference on Tuesday, citing his commitment to the Gulf of Mexico relief effort.
The announcement Monday follows stinging criticism of Hayward's weekend outing to the Isle of Wight to see his boat compete in a high-profile English yacht race, a move which drew outrage across the Gulf and an acerbic response from the White House.
Hayward will skip Tuesday's session of the World National Oil Companies Congress, an annual gathering of oil executives from across the globe where he was due to give the keynote speech about the global responsibilities of international oil companies, according to BP PLC spokesman Jon Pack. Hayward will be replaced by his deputy, BP chief of staff Steve Westwell.
The London-based company said Sunday that Hayward planned to attend the gathering.

A disastrous oil spill is gushing as much as 2,500,000 gallons of crude a day into the Gulf of Mexico.
Before the spill, U.S. leaders were ramping up offshore drilling. Now, the Obama administration says no new drilling will be allowed until an investigation is concluded. But that's not enough: offshore drilling is dirty, dangerous, and the wrong strategy for a safe climate future for all.
The world needs the US to move away from oil, and work with us instead to drive forward the global clean energy revolution. Let’s use this moment to send a world-wide message to President Obama, urging him to overturn offshore drilling expansion -- our global outcry will be delivered in Washington with a massive banner when we reach 500,000 signers:
