2026 ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵAnnual Conference
May 8-9, 2026 Fort William Henry Hotel and Conference Center, Lake George, NY
Shared Lakes: Shared Responsibilities
We’re hosting our 43th annual conference at the Fort William Henry Hotel and Conference Center in Lake George on May 8-9, 2026.
This year’s conference is focused on the roles that lake associations, government, and lake scientists play in lake management and preservation.
We have a great group of presenters this year. There is also plenty of time for networking with your fellow lake stewards, a silent auction, the popular Wine and Cheese Party, and more!
Registration form is available
(Note: Meal Tickets or Walk-In Registrations will NOT be available at the conference.)
There are still spaces available for exhibitors as well! See both vendor and non-profit packages on the registration form!
Conference Program
We’re excited about the great series of speakers we have this year that will share their wealth of research and experiences in a wide array of lake related topics.
Check out the Preliminary Program (revised 4/2/26) for a preview of the conference!
The nomination period for Lake Steward Awards is now closed. Thank you for all the great submittals and we hope to see you at the conference!
Each year, ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵpays tribute to outstanding individuals who dedicate their time and energy to benefit their lake association. You know who they are. They’re the people who attend nearly every meeting and serve on multiple committees. They find grant money and spend decades serving as CSLAP volunteers. They are the people that are so hard to replace, and your association doesn’t know what will happen when they retire from service. Let them know how much they’re appreciated!
Don’t forget to bring something for the Silent Auction!
It’s always a fun way to raise money for NYSFOLA. Gift baskets, wine, lake-related items, and more!
