MD&M West: Streamlining 4 Industry Events into One Unified Experience
Previously known as Informa Markets Engineering (IME) West, hosting five co-located shows — MD&M West, ATX West, D&M West, Plastec West, and West Pack — we are now merging 4 of these related industry sectors into a single unified show: MD&M West.
Our MD&M West event will continue to be the industry-leading meeting place for the entire medical, critical and advanced manufacturing ecosystem, with the added benefit of greater clarity in communication, for you and your attendees.
WestPack, well-known as the leading event showcasing the latest innovation and excellence in packaging solutions, will be positioned alongside the new Sustainable Manufacturing Expo in the North Hall of the Anaheim Convention Center (just steps from its previous location in Hall A) February 4-5, 2025.

What Will Be Different
- Co-Locates Will be Known as Sectors — MD&M, ATX, D&M, and Plastec will now be known as Medical, Automation, Design and Manufacturing, and Plastic sectors within our one unified MD&M brand.
- One Unified Name — One MD&M unites a community of multiple special interests who all share a single goal – to advance their knowledge, contacts and progress in the world of high specification advanced manufacturing.
- Increased Booth Traffic and Visibility — By unifying the event under a single name and eliminating separate zone identities, we create a seamless experience for attendees. This encourages more fluid movement across the show floor, resulting in increased foot traffic and visibility for all exhibitors.
What Will Stay The Same
- Clear Categorization of Events by Specialism — We’ll keep and improve how we categorize by specialism under the new branding, so your target audience is still reached, now with the added benefit of a unified brand.
- Show Location & Duration — The event's familiar Anaheim location and three-day expo schedule remains unchanged, allowing attendees to take full advantage of the over 333,000 square foot show floor.
- Booth Location Consistency — We prioritize booth location consistency, ensuring exhibitors can maintain their strategic positioning on the show floor, preserving valuable brand equity and customer connections.
- Event Focus on The Full Manufacturing Spectrum — The event will continue to bring together the full range of specialties, giving you the chance to connect with a wide and relevant audience all in one place.

What Exhibitors Have To Say

[West] is a pretty well-oiled machine. We’ve seen a significant lift in customer base and a return to normalcy in terms of supply and demand in the market in 2024.
— Katie Wilson, VP Healthcare Communications & Digital Strategy, Spectrum Plastics
Our company has been exhibiting here for 35 years. This show has been and always is our super bowl.

I must say it was perhaps the most engaging Informa show I've had the privilege to be part of. The volume of positive feedback I received was amazing.
