CNN correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta will be one of the featured daily speakers for CRS 2013. Gupta will speak during the Country Radio Seminar beginning at 9 a.m. CT. on Friday, March 1.

Gupta is a chief medical correspondent for CNN. A practicing neurosurgeon, Gupta reports on health and medical news for Starting Point with Soledad O’Brien, Anderson Cooper 360 and various CNN documentaries.  He also anchors the weekend medical affairs program Sanjay Gupta, MD and contributes to CNN.com and CNNHealth.com.

“CRS is more than just a convention for the Country radio and music industry,” says CRS Executive Director Bill Mayne. “Over the past few years we have expanded our efforts to include agenda topics that appeal to our attendees beyond the scope of Country radio exclusively, which is why we have had speakers like financial expert Dave Ramsey, marketing guru Seth Godin, MTV co-founder Bob Pittman and Scripps Networks’ Ken Lowe. And this year, we are excited to welcome Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who is an award-winning journalist with CNN and a highly respected professional in the medical field.”

CRS 2013 will be held in Nashville from Feb. 27-March 1. Daily speakers for Wednesday and Thursday will be announced in the coming weeks. For more information, visit crb.org.
