Wagner's motivational address will take place on Wednesday, February 25 at the Nashville Convention Center in downtown Nashville. Wagner is best known for his business interests with Mark Cuban and helping to launch the former Broadcast.com.
"We are thrilled that Todd has agreed to join us for a unique discussion," said CRS Executive Director Bill Mayne. "We've been looking for the right person to speak on 'entrepreneurial spirit' in the marketplace for several years. When you consider his body of work with success in innovation, entrepreneurship and philanthropy, Todd Wagner is the perfect person to share his perspective with our industry!"
"Country music has grown to become the dominant genre in American radio due in large part to the passion and innovation of CRS and its attendees," added Wagner. "I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone and sharing a few of the lessons I've learned as a successful entrepreneur."
A native of Gary, IN, Wagner received a B.S. from Indiana University, and subsequently earned a law degree from the University of Virginia. In 1995, he joined with fellow Indiana alumnus Mark Cuban to launch Broadcast.com, which broadcasts live sporting events, corporate events and radio stations over the Internet. As CEO of Broadcast.com, Wagner helped take the company public in 1998, where it set an opening-day record with shares climbing 249%.
