Best Conferences for PLC Programming, SCADA Systems, DNP3, and IEC-61850 Applications

Question:

Hello PLC experts, I am a newcomer to the world of PLC programming and configuration, transitioning from the energy management system industry. I am currently immersed in working with RX3i systems and seeking to establish a network comprising PLC developers and SCADA system managers/architects. Apart from PLC programming and configuration, I am keen to delve into DNP3 and IEC-61850 applications. Any suggestions for conferences that cover all these aspects would be greatly valued. Thank you in advance!

In the United States, trade shows typically cater to specific industries or serve as promotional events for individual brands. Automate stands out as a rare general trade show, with a focus on manufacturing rather than utility/process automation. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any trade show specifically tailored to your industry. Best of luck in your search!
