  • Certified Human: Trust & Transparency: Listener relationships, advertiser dollars, and ratings all hinge on trust. This session explores the importance of clear communication and transparent data.
  • Beyond Vanity Metrics: Big numbers grab attention, but what happens after the view, stream, or spin? Five industry perspectives examine how connecting radio, streaming, social, and fan behavior signals can reveal whether an artist is attracting attention or building a lasting audience.

The four-part Cycle of a Song series will examine the people, decisions, and partnerships that move music from the writing room to radio and help build lasting artist careers. Sessions include:

  • Cycle of a Song: Trace the unconventional journey of Drew Baldridge’s “She’s Somebody’s Daughter” to No. 1, exploring how he broke records along the way and what his path reveals about the new cycle of a hit.
  • Cycle of a Song: Women Making an Impact: Women are making country music history. Artists and industry leaders will unpack the momentum, progress, and work needed to turn this moment into lasting change. 
  • Anatomy of an Artist: Track an artist’s rise and explore how independence, ownership, touring, fan loyalty, strategic partnerships, and radio helped build a superstar.
  • Songwriters Round: Hear directly from the songwriters behind the music for an inside look at the craft, business, and journey from the writing room to radio.
