Indiana Lakes Management Society

Log in

Join us March 24-25, 2027 at Pokagon State Park in Angola, Indiana for our 38th 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. This year the conference will be held on Wednesday and Thursday (instead of Thursday and Friday). Look for more updates in November!

Speak at the Conference!

We are currently seeking abstracts for presentations at the 38th Annual Indiana Lakes Management Conference. The deadline to submit an abstract is Friday, November 20th, 2026.

You don't need to be an expert - you just need to have a good story to share! Past topics have included lake wildlife, community organization, water quality monitoring, dredging, wakeboats, regulations, fundraising, public education, algae management, watershed protection, and more. Presentation slots are typically 25 minutes including questions and answers. Students also have the option of submitting a poster presentation.

Apply by filling out this online form.
