Streaming Summit 2: The Sequel
• CRS 2022 is only a few short months away, and it was announced that the 2nd Annual CRS Streaming Summit will formally kick off CRS Week on Wednesday, Feb. 23, featuring targeted, informative sessions, combined with star-studded afternoon and evening music events. Established last year during CRS 2021: The Virtual Experience, the Streaming Summit proved so popular that the CRS Agenda Committee has expanded the program to an all-day educational event, which includes the Warner Music Nashville luncheon and performances.
UMG Nashville’s Annie Ortmeier, CRS 2022 Streaming Summit Committee Chair, commented, “I can confidently say the amount of talent and wide-reaching expertise found in every session at this summit would be difficult to find under the roof of only one conference. Our Streaming Summit team of Sarah D’Hilly, Ali Matkosky, and myself are thrilled with the lineup for 2022 as we align with new partners and new boundary-pushing perspectives, making this day a no-miss.”
Confirmed panelists speaking throughout the day include Timothy Babbitt (General Motors), Lauren Black (Country Now), Sung Cho (ChartMetric), Emily Cohen (Amazon Music), Patch Culbertson & Ali Matkosky (Big Loud), Tim Foisset (Warner Music Nashville), Margaret Hart (YouTube Music), Claire Heinichen, Alison Junker & Jonathan Tarlton (Spotify), Soy Kim (Spotify for Artists), Brandon Jarrett & Haley Jones (MRC Entertainment), Allison Laughter (Red Light), Annie Ortmeier, Vipin Reddy & Taylor Viegut (UMG Nashville), Ashton Pierre (AT&T), Steve Stewart (Cox Media Group Orlando) and Alina Thompson(Pandora).
A one-day, Streaming Summit pass for Feb. 23 is $249 or is included in a full CRS 2022 registration fee of $649. More details, including the lineup for the Warner Music Nashville Kickoff Luncheon, will be announced soon.
