MD&M West 2027 takes place February 9–11 at Anaheim Convention Center, bringing together manufacturers, engineers, and technology providers across five industry sectors: MedTech, Automation, Design & Manufacturing, Plastics, and Packaging. The event also features the Packaging Sector, formerly WestPack, alongside programming focused on sustainable manufacturing.
Shipping to MD&M West often involves industrial machinery, injection molding equipment, robotics, packaging systems, and sensitive medical manufacturing technology. Exhibitors should confirm their assigned exhibit hall, freight receiving instructions, and move-in schedule before arranging transportation. Large machinery and interconnected demonstration systems may require specialized trailers, coordinated unloading, and additional installation time.
Exhibitway coordinates trade show freight to MD&M West, including machinery transportation, direct-to-show deliveries, advance warehouse shipping when available, and expedited freight. Our team helps manufacturers and exhibit houses plan around equipment specifications, show deadlines, and installation requirements while maintaining shipment visibility throughout the process.
For MD&M West, our recommendation is to coordinate freight around the installation sequence, especially when shipping manufacturing machinery or automated systems. Equipment may need to be unloaded, positioned, assembled, and tested before the exhibition opens.
Confirm your machinery's dimensions, weight, loading method, and handling requirements early. If your exhibit includes multiple interconnected systems, establish which components must arrive first and coordinate that sequence with your installation team. For large machinery, compare direct-to-show delivery against advance warehouse shipping based on the contractor's receiving rules and handling charges.
