National SCADA Conference 2012

Australias largest and longest running SCADA conference returns to Melbourne after a 5 year absence. The 11th National SCADA Conference will be held at the Langham Hotel in Melbourne on 28th & 29th May 2012.

The theme for 2012 will be adapting to a changing future. The scope and scale of natural disasters during 2011 have ensured that SCADA networks across the nation have been battered. With services restored the process of upgrading and delivering more robust and resilient networks has begun in earnest.

The conference program will deliver fantastic first-hand knowledge from leading international and local SCADA experts with a great mix of burning SCADA issues, case studies, security and real world implementations together with practical advice. The networking opportunities provided coupled with the largest SCADA exhibition in the Southern Hemisphere ensure the National SCADA Conference is a must attend event for Australias and New Zealands SCADA Community.

• Dr Stefan Lders, Head of Computer Security, CERN
