LEARN from the BEST!

Because many of the experts we have had the honor and privilege of them presenting at the annual Chanticleer Authors Conferences are contingent upon us being flexible with our schedules and accommodating with their schedules.

This year is no different, especially with everything opening back up. We are thrilled to have Maggie Marr along with Eric Lucas and Reenita Mohltra Hora presenting at CAC23 as well as a few more other surprise presenters that we are awaiting confirmation.
