It’s not until February, however the host hotel is already sold out. The Country Radio Seminar, one of the most popular radio conferences, is being held February 13-15 at The Omni Hotel in downtown Nashville. On Tuesday, the entire agenda for the event was released.
Judy Lakin, 2019 CRS Agenda Committee Chair said, “The CRS 50 educational lineup will host experts in technology, social media, imaging, programming, production, sales, promotions, and the list does not stop there. Don’t miss this golden opportunity to educate yourself at the only country radio convention. It is one you and your career can’t afford to miss.”
