  Wisconsin Lakes Convention


For over thirty years The Wisconsin Lakes Convention has been an annual gathering of lake lovers of all stripes: Lake Stewarts, Lake Leaders, Lake Professionals, and the members of the Wisconsin Lake Partnership.
Meeting together to share research, management options, and educational strategies, convention participants leave with new ideas and a renewed support network.

2009 - Back To Balance   (Click Here for the Archive)

The 2009 Wisconsin Lakes Convention featured an international symposium on aquatic invasive species.  Experts from around North America gathered to discuss the research, management options, educational ideas and needed policy changes to deal more effectively with this prevailing issue.  The goal of the symposium was to share this knowledge with agency staff, lake citizens, businesses, elected officials, and others to help get our lakes “back to balance.”

While AIS is an important issue, it is not the only challenge facing Wisconsin lakes.  Wednesday and Friday workshops offered hands-on training and discussion on many important lake topics including AIS, lake ecology, interpreting and using lake data, working with local partners for lake protection and running a more effective lake group.
