Structured Agenda

Volunteer Search and Rescue (SAR) conferences don't only happen in hotel ballrooms; they often run at base camps and training grounds as well. For 501(c)(3) SAR organizations and state SAR councils, every dollar spent on event technology is a dollar not spent on equipment and training.

ConfWise is built for volunteer-run organizations that need a useful program on a small budget. Volunteers open it in their phone's browser, with nothing to install, and there is no per-attendee pricing.

Flat Pricing Per Event

Many event apps charge based on how many volunteers show up. ConfWise charges a flat fee per event ($99 or $299), with unlimited attendees, no per-head fees and the no-download web app on every tier; the Professional tier is $299 per event. Powerhouse isn't on sale yet. Join the waitlist and we'll tell you when lead retrieval and sponsor tools are ready.

  • No Per-Attendee Fees: Whether you have 50 or 500 responders, the price stays the same.
  • Volunteer-Friendly: We build the draft from your agenda PDF, so you don't need a tech team to launch an event app. The draft is free; you pay when you publish.
1. From PDF to Draft App, Built for You

SAR training schedules often run several tracks, such as K9 handling, technical rope rescue and land navigation. Instead of typing every session into a CMS, email us your agenda PDF and we'll build the draft schedule for you to review. Each session keeps its track or room, and attendees see it on every session.

2. Plan for Field Exercises

The web app needs a data connection. For field exercises where coverage is poor, print the day's schedule as a backup; the app shows any changes once volunteers are back online.

3. Live Updates

When a session moves, you update it once and volunteers see the change on their phones while they're online.

Live Schedule Updates

Change a session time or room once in your dashboard and it appears on attendees' phones while they're online. No reprinted program, no errata sheet.
