  • LEARN FROM THE BEST at the Chanticleer Authors Conference – April 2023 – Kiffer Brown

    LEARN FROM THE BEST AT CAC23

    It exactly two months before

    the annual Chanticleer Authors Conference!

    Chanticleer Book Reviews 2023 Authors Conference is April 27-30, 2023

    LEARN from the BEST!

    As many Chanticleerians have learned over the years, we rarely can list our presenters six-months or even four-months, two-months in advance. Why? 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.

    So, please stay tuned for more info! Meanwhile, REGISTER TODAYSeats are limited!
