Keith Urban To Be CRS Featured Speaker

Country music superstar Keith Urban has been announced as a Country Radio Seminar 2015 featured speaker. The event, Keith Urban: Being Present, is scheduled for Friday, Feb. 27, 2015 at 3 p.m. during the annual convention, which takes place at the Nashville Convention Center.

Radio consistently says Keith Urban is known for ‘being present.”  He was one of the first to tear down the walls between the artist and their live audience.  Being present has been his calling card.  This is a very important topic for not only on-air talent and programmers who now have multiple jobs, multiple air shifts, and management responsibilities. It is relevant to everyone in today’s business environment who must be proficient in multi-tasking with many individuals.  When your life has many different facets you need to manage. It’s how you're present in “that moment,” with an employee, listener, business colleague, and your audience.

"This will be a definitive ‘memorable moment’ for all of us this year: having this incredible talent address this most critical skill in today's hectic professional business environment, with far reaching effect on one's ability to communicate," says CRS Executive Director, Bill Mayne. “Urban is one of the first artists to have literally broken down the separation that can exist even on the concert stage.  Not only has he been leaving the stage, to join his audiences for years, he was the first artist that I’ve ever seen, whose stage literally bled into the crowd, with no barrier of any kind – no doubt entirely by design.”

Keith Urban: Being Present is sponsored by BMI at CRS 2015 and is one of many highlights scheduled for CRS 2015.
