MD&M West is an annual central meeting place for professionals driving advances in medical device development, precision manufacturing, materials science, automation, and more. In 2026, the event is expected to attract more than 13,800 attendees and 1,700 exhibitors, showcasing technologies from 43 countries and spanning every stage of the product lifecycle.
What to expect in 2026
MD&M West’s expansive exhibit hall will once again bring together five core sectors, including medtech, automation, design & manufacturing, plastics, and packaging.
Beyond the exhibit hall, MD&M West 2026 offers a comprehensive and immersive education programme, encompassing workshops, conferences, live demonstrations, and show-floor sessions.
The MedTech Conference is the cornerstone educational experience for MedTech executives, engineers, and developers. Over three days, this conference explores key topics including next-generation design strategies, emerging technologies such as AI and digital health, regulatory compliance, cybersecurity, and resilient supply chain methods. Alongside the MedTech Conference, the Sustainable Manufacturing Conference brings together leaders focused on actionable pathways to more efficient, profitable, and environmentally conscious manufacturing.
The Manufacturing State Fair Zone provides a showcase of emerging technologies and live demos that illustrate real-world manufacturing in action. The Meet Up Zone offers a quieter space to book short meetings with partners or new contacts directly on the show floor. Booth crawl micro receptions and workforce connection events facilitate structured networking among peers and industry leaders.
