CRS has released the agenda for CRS 2022, set for Feb. 23-25.
Some of this year’s agenda highlights include a full-day Streaming Summit, eighteen informative panels, six CRS Heads of State sessions, four mentoring breakfasts, three label-sponsored luncheons, a featured artist interview with Blake Shelton, Bob Kingsley’s Acoustic Alley, the annual New Faces of Country Music Show, and more.
The agenda can now be viewed on CountryRadioSeminar.com. Those already registered for the event will have access to an extended version of the agenda, featuring panel descriptions and locations.
“CRS has been the forum to discuss the challenges and victories within the country music industry, and this year’s agenda reflects that reputation,” says CRS Agenda Chairman Brent Michaels. “From a deep look at how our fans listen to and feel about the music, to the return of a full year of touring, to sessions on leadership and brand integrity, registrants will have something to discuss with their peers and co-workers moving forward. We’ve included discussions about the state of country radio, as well as hands-on opportunities to build skills and network.”
CRS also announced details for the CMA Welcome Reception and the Kitchen Notes Breakfast with RECORDS Nashville Artists & Staff. The CMA Welcome Reception will take place in the Broadway Hallway on Wednesday, Feb. 23 from 5-6 p.m. CT and will feature Kat & Alex.
The Breakfast with RECORDS Nashville Artists & Staff will feature performances by Matt Stell, Chris Bandi, George Birge, and Erin Kinsey, and will be held at Kitchen Notes in the Omni Nashville on Friday, Feb. 25 from 7:30-10 a.m. CT.
This year, CRS has expanded its scholarship program to include the inaugural Lisa McKay Women in Radio Scholarship in addition to the already established Rusty Walker Scholarship. As previously announced, receiving this year’s first-ever Lisa McKay Women in Radio Scholarship is Paisley Dunn (PM Drive and APD, WCJC, Marion, IN) and set to receive the Rusty Walker Scholarship are Kyle Matthews (APD/MD, KFGE, Lincoln, NE), Spencer Campbell (Account Executive, WLVK Ft Knox, KY), and Morgan Taylor (On-Air Talent, KGRT, Las Cruces, NM).
On Feb. 10, the official mobile app for Country Radio Seminar will be released and will provide attendees with access to the expanded CRS agenda, session descriptions, speaker bios, artists performing, and more. Users will be able to create their own customized CRS 2022 schedule, rate the panels, and more.
