Focused conference addressing industrial control systems and critical infrastructure security challenges.
ICS Cybersecurity Conference 2026
SecurityWeek's ICS Cybersecurity Conference runs 6–8 October 2026 at the W Hotel Nashville — a new host city for what the organiser marks as the event's 25th anniversary.
This is the longest-running event series devoted to industrial cybersecurity: securing the control systems that run power grids, water utilities, pipelines, manufacturing plants and other critical infrastructure. The audience mixes the two communities that OT security requires in the same room — plant and operations engineers on one side, security teams and CISOs on the other.
If you attended in previous years, note the location change: the conference has historically been held in Atlanta, and the 2026 event moves to Nashville.
