Email Body

Hi [Manager],

​

I am requesting approval to attend OT.SEC.CON., April 1–2, 2026, in Houston, TX.

​

OT.SEC.CON. is focused specifically on Operational Technology (OT), ICS, and the protection of critical infrastructure. As threats to industrial and infrastructure environments continue to evolve, this conference provides direct insight from practitioners defending real-world OT systems. The sessions emphasize practical strategies for risk reduction, resilience, and incident response in operational environments.

​

Attendance will strengthen our approach to securing critical systems and support upcoming initiatives such as [specific project, audit, or program]. It will also provide the opportunity to connect with peer organizations to better understand how their OT security programs are structured, governed, and matured compared to ours. I will provide a summary of key takeaways and recommendations for the team following the event.

 

Potential Sessions of Interest Include:

Estimated Costs:

• Registration: $100

• Hotel: $208 per night (approx. $364.67 with taxes/fees)

• Travel: $[Estimate]

• Meals: Lunch and snacks provided

 

Given the growing importance of OT security in protecting critical infrastructure, I believe this is a strategic and cost-effective investment.

​

I’d welcome the opportunity to explore this together and discuss how we can move this forward.
