See what's on at MD&M East
Find out what's on at MD&M East this year with MPN North America's extensive preview.
MD&M East aims to be the East Coast event that draws medtech’s top suppliers, giving visitors the opportunity to find the solutions needed to take projects from concept to market, and solve the toughest manufacturing challenges.
Organisers of the event are inviting visitors to be the first to witness demos of technology yet to hit the market as well as being able to draw daily insight from free show floor activities and presentations focused on business development, improving patient outcomes, value engineering, design thinking, speed to market, the Internet of Things, and more.
Running alongside MD&M are five additional shows – Atlantic Design & Manufacturing, ATX East, EASTPack, PLASTEC East and Quality East – showcasing solutions spanning design engineering, automation and robotics, packaging, plastics and quality. With nearly one thousand manufacturing industry suppliers on one show floor, all sourcing needs can be covered with this event.
Make New Industry Connections
In an increasingly digital world, face-to-face connections matter. In-person industry networking is designed to help you build relationships faster and more easily than on the phone. More than 9,000 industry professionals from leading companies such as Medtronic, Siemens, St. Jude Medical, 3M and many others will be there, providing access to the connections needed to advance projects – and your career – all in one place.
Building a network of industry contacts can seem intimidating, not to mention time consuming! That’s why MD&M East is making it easy with a fast, fun, one-on-one speed networking activity. This allows you to get in front of professionals for five-minute sessions. From engineers and executives to suppliers and key decision makers, the opportunity is there to let you sit across the table from others looking to connect, learn and share.
There’s no need to sign up for speed networking in advance, as seats are given on a first-come, first-served basis, but the activity always fills to capacity, so organisers advise getting there early to reserve your spot!

The 34th annual MD&M East conference
Each year, the event offers an educational experience designed with the needs of the medical manufacturing professional in mind. Back for its 34th year, the conference is delivering two tracks of education to medtech professionals.
Track A: Design – Covering topics ranging from user-centered design, disruptive design strategy and emerging technology, this track is tailored to medical device professionals working in design engineering, R&D, industrial design, and mechanical engineering.
Track B: Product Development – This track tackles the latest advances in product development methodologies and strategies, design controls and value engineering, and is ideal for product development professionals in engineering, R&D, quality assurance/quality control, sourcing, manufacturing, regulatory, and design engineering.
Attendees can discover how to better define product development and design strategies, and join experts to investigate how products, processes, and people combine to help impact lives — and your bottom line.
