Corbyn has been a vocal supporter of nuclear disarmament, saying he wants to see a "nuclear-free world".
He was listed as a speaker on this morning's event.
But his spokesperson told the Guardian that he had never planned to go.
When asked about Corbyn's absence by an audience member, CND's Kate Hudson said: "We are very proud that Jeremy Corbyn continues to be our vice president".
Corbyn was expelled from the parliamentary party over his response to EHRC's damning report on antisemitism in 2020 and now sits as an independent MP.
In February, Starmer confirmed that Corbyn will "categorically" not stand as a Labour Party candidate at the next general election, saying he "betrayed" the values of the British people.
He said: "Let me be very clear about that: Jeremy Corbyn will not stand for Labour at the next general election, as a Labour Party candidate.

Sir Keir said that anti-semitism is "an evil" and "no political party that cultivates it deserves to hold power".
