CRS Accepting Applications For 2026 Agenda Committee


Country Radio Broadcasters (CRB) is currently accepting applications for the Country Radio Seminar (CRS) 2026 Agenda Committee.

The volunteer team plays a pivotal role in shaping the educational programming for CRS 2026, an annual event that serves as a key gathering for country music and radio industry professionals. The deadline for applications is Friday, April 18, 2025, and the seminar itself is scheduled to take place March 18–20, 2026, in Nashville.

The CRS Agenda Committee is composed of industry volunteers from various sectors, including country radio, streaming services, and the broader music industry. Their primary responsibility is to design and plan the educational content—such as panels, sessions, and discussions—that will address the evolving needs and trends in country radio and music. This includes tackling topics like programming, digital innovation, streaming, and industry challenges, ensuring the seminar remains a vital resource for professionals seeking to stay ahead in a rapidly changing landscape.


Leading the 2026 Agenda Committee is Chair Shelley Hargis from BMG/BBR Music Group, who brings continuity from her role in previous years. She is joined by Co-Vice Chairs Krista Hayes-Pruitt, also of BMG/BBR Music Group, and Kevin Callahan, Programming Executive at Pamal Broadcasting, with Callahan stepping into the leadership team this year. Their combined expertise spans label operations and radio programming, promising a balanced perspective in curating the agenda.

Applicants must commit to attending in-person planning meetings in Nashville from July 21–23, 2025, at the Virgin Hotel, as well as the full CRS 2026 event in March. While committee members receive free registration for the seminar, they are responsible for their own travel and lodging expenses.
