Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) West along with sister shows WestPack, Automation Technology Expo (ATX) West, Design & Manufacturing (D&M) West, Plastec West, and Cannabis Packaging Summit have opened registration for the 2021 in-person event to be held at the Anaheim Convention Center August 10-12. Together the shows make up the Informa Markets Engineering’s West event and bring together engineers, business leaders, disruptive companies, and innovative thinkers.

“During this time physically apart, we've also reimagined our live event and created an immersive expo that will feature expertly curated education, networking hubs, product showcases, and more,” said Hayley Haggarty, group event director of Informa Market Engineering’s West event, in a news release. “Attendees of all show brands can look forward to both new and well-established theaters and activations across the floor.”

As with all Informa events, Informa Markets Engineering’s West event will be run according to official government and local authority guidance in the first instance as well as any venue or location-specific regulations. In addition, all Informa events around the world, irrespective of format or location, will follow onsite safety measures called Informa AllSecure. These guidelines will help to ensure attendees maximize their time at the event while feeling confident and safe.

The event will feature a number of complimentary activities: 

3DPX Zone

Constant innovation and research abound in 3D printing, and new materials offer great potential thanks to superior strength, robust nature, and high-temperature resistance. According to a recent study by Fact MR, the global 3D printing material market is forecast to expand at 26 percent CAGR over the duration of 2021 to 2031. To support this growth, the Informa Markets Engineering’s West event will launch an all-new 3D Printing eXperiential zone featuring live demos, free content, and networking within a dedicated 3D printing hub.
