CRS Is Back! Live and In-Person on February 23-25, 2022

Country music’s largest industry gathering, CRS, is set to return in person at Omni Nashville Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, on February 23-25. Registration for CRS 2022 opens August 17 at 10 a.m. CT at the Early Bird Rate of $549 per person and will be available for purchase at www.CountryRadioSeminar.com. Effective August 19, the rate will increase to $649 per person.

CRS 2022 will also see the return of the CRS Streaming Summit on Wednesday, February 23. In the wake of the pandemic, online music listening and streaming subscriptions surged, and listening behaviors have shifted. While attendees can expect to see the return of many of the most popular events and programming CRS has to offer, CRS is dedicated to expanding the seminar’s scope and is dedicating an entire day to streaming. A one-day pass to attend the streaming summit will be available for $249 per person.

Following the success and popularity of CRS 2021: The Virtual Experience, CRS will also be offering a virtual track featuring Livestream sessions and on-demand content from the 3-day event. Musical performances will only be available in-person and not available through the virtual experience. The Early Bird rate for a CRS Virtual pass is $99 per person, and effective August 19, the rate will increase to $129 per person.

With exceptional programming and content planned, along with appearances by some of the format’s most prominent stars, CRS is gearing up for a music industry reunion unlike any before.

This will indeed be the greatest family reunion ever in Country Music, and it just wouldn't be the same without you. So, make plans to join us at the Omni in February!"
