A&O&B Adds Sessions To Annual Pre-CRS Seminar

Country Radio Specialists Mike O’Malley and Becky Brenner have announced two additions to their 26th annual Pre-CRS seminar; Wednesday, February 19, 2020 from 8:30-11:30 am at the Omni Hotel in Downtown Nashville.

John Zimmer

"360 'Radio' for 2020":   John Zimmer, President of Zimmer Radio and Marketing Group, NAB representative from Missouri & Kansas, and the current Chairman of the 2020 NAB Radio Show in Nashville, shares his insights regarding the successful evolution of radio into the new decade.  What will it take to grow your business while competing with new technologies and new generations of consumers?  Use his insights to navigate the year ahead.

"How Improv Can improve your Show & Your Public Speaking":   You - yes YOU - are 100% capable of succeeding at Improv! All you need are three core techniques. Theatre professor and former Second City actor Christie Maturo will walk you though the process. In less than half an hour, you'll have permission to be you and have the confidence that what you say will be interesting and make great radio.

 The A&O&B team will also present the first highlights from their 15th annual online perceptual study, “Roadmap 2020”.  This is the largest study of Country P1's in the U.S. and Canada.  Attendees will discover trends in music tastes, radio usage, digital consumption, social networking and more. 

Additional speakers will be announced soon.

Partner Mike O'Malley points out, “Inspiration and innovation come from events like this, the country radio seminar, and anywhere information is shared; and "what if" is celebrated. Providing an annual opportunity for this knowledge/idea sharing is important to us because, while this is a country-centric event, the takeaways go beyond a single format. In the end, it's about great radio and ways to make long lasting connections with listeners."

Brenner adds, “We are thrilled to be back at the Omni in partnership with our friends at Country Radio Seminar.  This fast paced 3.5 hours are some of the most talked about at CRS. It is an opportunity to share, learn, grow and re-energize for the new year!"

The A&O&B Pre-CRS Seminar is free to all A&O&B clients, as well as any broadcasters in non-competitive situations. You can RSVP to Mike O'Malley - mike@aandoandb.com or Becky Brenner becky@aandoandb.com.
