Conference

MiCorps hosts an annual conference for volunteers and program coordinators. At each conference we host speakers, panels, discussions, and training opportunities so the MiCorps community can stay up to date on monitoring methods, freshwater science and management, and interact with the monitoring community.

Save the date!

The 2026 MiCorps Conference will be held November 6 in Muskegon at the Delta Hotels Muskegon Convention Center. There will also be an optional pre-conference stream monitoring workshop the afternoon of November 5. Mark your calendar today! Registration and agenda info will be posted later this year.

CLMP Volunteers: Note that training sessions held at the MiCorps Annual Conference do not meet the training requirements for participants in the Cooperative Lakes Monitoring Program (CLMP). For more information on CLMP training requirements, visit our Lake Monitoring Training page.
