The CBCA is delighted to invite you to register for our 13th National Conference, to be held in beautiful Canberra in 2019.

The rich and varied program of ‘And Now They’re Laughing’ will highlight the outstanding contribution made by writers of humour to Australian children’s literature and to children’s literacy – and much more.

Confirmed special guests and presenters include:

Morris Gleitzman, Bruce Pascoe, Jeannie Baker, Bren MacDibble, Matt Stanton, Zana Fraillon, Leigh Hobbs, Emily Rodda, Aunty Fay Muir PLUS The Great Debate: THAT YA FICTION IS TOO SERIOUS featuring High School Students vs Publishers.

And back by popular demand, our regular drawcards: Book Launches, Trade Display, Dymocks Bookshop, Book Signings and tons of opportunties for networking with the who's who of Australian Children's literature - writers, illustrators, publishers, teachers, librarians, booksellers and our wonderful CBCA members from across Australia.
