Shipping to MD&M West 2027

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.

YOUR SHIPPING OPTIONS

Advance Warehouse vs. Direct-to-Show

There are two primary ways to get your freight to the show. Compare the timing and advantages of each option to determine what works best for your shipment.

ADVANCE WAREHOUSE

Ship Early. Arrive Ready

Send your freight ahead of the show and have it received before exhibitor move-in begins.

best for:

Exhibitors whose freight is ready early and who want more flexibility ahead of move-in.

DIRECT-TO-SHOW

Ship Straight to the Venue.

Schedule your freight to arrive directly at the venue during the show's designated receiving window.

VENUE
Anaheim Convention Center
best for:

Exhibitors whose freight isn't ready by the advance deadline or shipments better suited for delivery directly to the venue.

Exhibitway recommendation

Our Recommendation for MD&M West 2027

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.
