Indiana Lakes Management Society

Log in

Join us March 26-27, 2026 at Swan Lake Resort in Plymouth, Indiana for our 37th annual conference! This is a great way to meet other lake enthusiasts and water professionals while learning about lake management successes and challenges around the state. The conference opens Thursday morning with plenary speaker Troy Goldsby of Aqua Services, A Jones Lake Management Partner, sharing "Working With Aquatics Companies: How to Achieve Goals, Based in Science, Driven by Results." This will be followed by two tracks of presentations with topics including dredging, permitting, HAB management, lake association success tips, water quality studies, and more. Thursday evening is our silent auction and banquet where we present our annual awards. On Friday, participants can choose between a field trip to Lindenwood Retreat Center or a hands-on lake monitoring workshop hosted by Aquatic Control.
