Lakebed 2030 Conference

The Great Lakes are one of the world’s most important freshwater resources and we still have a lot to learn about what lies beneath them. With less than 15% of the Great Lakes mapped, the need for better data, new technologies and collaboration has never been greater.
Join us for Lakebed 2030 September 15–17, 2026 in Traverse City, Michigan where leading experts across science, policy, government and technology come together to harness high-resolution mapping data, showcase groundbreaking marine technologies and forge cross-sector strategies to protect vital freshwater resources and drive economic vitality across the region.
