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!

From Our Partners

HARTING is a good friend of Automation Ladies and the industrial connectivity team on a mission to prove that every connection matters!

When you’re walking around the IMTS show this year, you'll notice HARTING connectors powering robots of all shapes and sizes and moving data through automation machinery.

Stop by our in-booth demo truck experience (Booth #237345) to get hands-on with our famous modular connectors (and customize your own like LEGOs!).
