SARCON2015 is a multifaceted exposition featuring instructional
tracks and trade-show that caters exclusively to decision-makers and SAR professionals
involved in all aspects of search and rescue. Subject matter includes mountain
rescue techniques and skills, search skills and management, use of canines, and
other pertinent information. Session attendees will seek positive, practical
input for a proactive approach to search and rescue. Attendees will include
professionals, both paid and non-paid, in all aspects of search and rescue from
throughout the United States and abroad. Attendees will represent many job
functions, but will all share a similar concern: search and rescue.

waive $125 in consideration). Because the conference
