OT SCADA CON 2024 was a hit!

If you haven’t heard, our Automation Ladies network hosted its first-ever event, OT SCADA CON!

We had 97 amazing people, including in-person attendees, virtual streamers, speakers, sponsor reps & volunteers, join us from July 25-26 at the Phoenix Contact Experience Center in Houston!

The technology raffle, happy hour, dinner & karaoke were wildly fun!

The education sections were even better! The amount of expertise & resulting conversations were awesome.

Check out what attendees thought!

Right now, we’re running an Extreme Early Bird In-Person Ticket special for next year’s CON from July 23-25, 2025 in Houston! This is the lowest it will ever be!
