MD&M Midwest 2026 in Minneapolis: Where to Stay

MD&M Midwest 2026 gathers engineers, executives, buyers and R&D specialists across advanced manufacturing and MedTech under one roof in Minneapolis. Organized by Informa Markets at the Minneapolis Convention Center, the show spans five sectors — MedTech, Automation, Design & Manufacturing, Plastics and Packaging — with more than 575 exhibitors expected. The expo floor showcases live demos in 3D printing, CAD/CAM software, robotics, sensors, motion control, injection molding and packaging automation, alongside testing equipment and biocompatible polymers. Attendees also get 30+ hours of free education and seven conference program tracks covering medtech innovation, sterilization, lean and smart manufacturing. If you are sourcing suppliers, comparing equipment or scouting design services, the two-day event is structured to push projects forward. Minneapolis is the gateway, with 3M, Medtronic, Mayo Clinic and Cargill anchoring the region's engineering ecosystem. Hotel demand peaks around the Minneapolis Convention Center and downtown during show days. Booking ahead is recommended, especially for stays from October 27 to October 29, 2026, to secure a room close to the venue.
