MD&M West 2027 in Anaheim: where to stay

MD&M West is North America's flagship annual gathering for the medical design and manufacturing industry. Over three days, the Anaheim Convention Center hosts more than 1,700 exhibitors and nearly 14,000 verified attendees, turning the venue into a full showcase of components, assembly, sterilization, automation, plastics and packaging for healthcare. The show unites five connected sectors — MedTech, automation, design & manufacturing, plastics and packaging — that previously ran as standalone trade fairs. That consolidation lets visitors cover the entire product lifecycle in a single trip: from prototyping and CAD/CAM to scaled production, biocompatible materials and regulatory-ready packaging systems. Beyond the exhibit floor, MD&M West offers technical conferences, hands-on workshops and stages such as the MedTech Theater and the Advanced Manufacturing Stage. Attendees typically include R&D directors, design engineers, quality and sourcing managers, sterilization specialists and product developers focused on shortening time-to-market and improving patient safety. If you're traveling from out of town or abroad, secure accommodation early: the Convention Center area and the Disneyland district hold most of the hotel supply and fill up quickly during show dates.
