Some SAR conferences are designed to accomodate both management and
volunteers. The conference itself is normally Friday through Sunday. Several
days prior to the conference (Wed-Fri) are dedicated to more specialized
classes that often have some kind of certification related to it. This has
been an effective conference format resulting in people coming in from
multiple surrounding states if the conference marketing is well done.
Commonly there is a nearby very affordable lodging option, or camp on site
at the facility with showers and such available.
