On September 16 at 1pm CT, CRS will present a preview of what the CRS Heads of State series will entail with the September edition of CRS360. The webinar will feature the four moderators who will forecast what key music and radio challenges these leaders may be facing in 2022, how they have emerged post-pandemic, and ways their respective companies plan to achieve continued success.

CRS will return in-person in 2022 and is set for February 23-25, 2022, at the Omni Nashville Hotel. In-person and virtual registration options are available and can be purchased at www.CountryRadioSeminar.com.
