BIOMEDevice Silicon Valley 2026 Dates: November 18–19 in Santa Clara (Now MEDevice Silicon Valley)

BIOMEDevice Silicon Valley 2026 Dates: The Short Answer

BIOMEDevice Silicon Valley 2026 runs Wednesday and Thursday, November 18–19, 2026, at the Santa Clara Convention Center, 5001 Great America Pkwy, Santa Clara, CA 95054. If you've planned travel, budget, or staffing around historical BIOMEDevice Silicon Valley November dates, those dates still apply — the show was renamed to MEDevice Silicon Valley by Informa Markets, but the dates and venue did not change.

The two-day format is tight. Day one (Wednesday) typically opens the expo around 10:00 AM PST and closes at 5:00 PM PST, with conference education running 9:00 AM–5:00 PM. Day two (Thursday) opens at 10:00 AM PST and closes at 4:00 PM PST.

Why "BIOMEDevice" and "MEDevice" Both Show Up in 2026 Search Results

If you're searching "BIOMEDevice Silicon Valley 2026 dates," you're searching the right event under its old name. Informa Markets dropped the "BIO" prefix in 2026 to align the Santa Clara show with the broader MEDevice / MD&M event family (MD&M West, MD&M East, MD&M South, MD&M Midwest). Same November cadence, same Santa Clara Convention Center, same Informa sales team, same audience of medtech engineers, R&D managers, startup founders, and product managers — just a new name on the badge and a new URL (medevicesiliconvalley.com) for the official site.

Practically, this means: if you're calendaring November 18–19, 2026, you've got the right dates for both the legacy "BIOMEDevice Silicon Valley" you may have attended in past years and the renamed "MEDevice Silicon Valley" you'll see on 2026 signage.

Full BIOMEDevice / MEDevice Silicon Valley 2026 Timeline and Deadlines

If you're exhibiting (or considering it), the November 18–19 show date is only one entry in a longer set of cutoffs. Here's the timeline that consistently produces the best ROI for the Santa Clara format, with the dates that actually move the needle:

The two deadlines that catch most teams off-guard are (1) the booth contract close in May–June 2026 — not because Informa hard-cuts the floor, but because the corners and end-caps are gone — and (2) the exhibitor service kit deadline in early September. Missing the kit deadline means paying 30–50% premium rates for last-minute orders. For a deeper exhibitor checklist that maps to these dates, see our medical conference exhibitor playbook.

Where Santa Clara Sits in the 2026 Medtech Conference Calendar

If you're sequencing BIOMEDevice / MEDevice Silicon Valley against other major medtech shows, here's how the November 18–19 date fits into the broader 2026 Informa Markets calendar:

The November dates put MEDevice Silicon Valley at the back end of the medtech trade show calendar — useful if you want a year-end push on Bay Area startups before Q1 budget cycles, but tight if you're also cutting MD&M West booth contracts in early November for February. For multi-show planning, our global medical device trade show calendar covers all of this in one place.

Travel Logistics for the November 18–19, 2026 Dates

Santa Clara Convention Center sits at 5001 Great America Pkwy, a 10-minute drive from San Jose International Airport (SJC) and roughly 45 minutes from San Francisco International (SFO). For the November 18–19, 2026 dates, plan around these factors:

• Hotels: The Hyatt Regency Santa Clara is connected to the convention center via skybridge — this is the conference hotel and the group block fills first. The Marriott Santa Clara is across Great America Pkwy, also walkable. Both run group rates through the official Informa Markets housing portal; book by mid-October 2026 to lock in conference pricing.
• Airports: SJC is closer (~10 minutes) and easier for Tuesday Nov 17 move-in arrivals. SFO has more flight options but adds a 45–60 minute drive depending on Bay Area traffic patterns — especially the I-101 / I-237 corridor in the late afternoon.
• Pre-Thanksgiving timing: November 18–19 falls one week before Thanksgiving (Nov 26, 2026). Domestic flight prices begin climbing the week of Nov 16, and rental car inventory tightens in San Jose. Book travel by late September for best fares.
• Bay Area weather: Late November in Santa Clara averages 50–65°F with a real chance of rain. Plan for indoor staging, not outdoor demo zones.

What to Do Right Now if You're Planning for November 18–19, 2026

If you're reading this in May 2026, you're roughly six months out and right on time. Here's the honest order of operations for the next ~26 weeks:

1. Lock booth space this month or next. Contact Informa Markets at clientservices.ime@informa.com or 844-826-6466. Decide between Standard Booth and Innovation Showcase — for Series A/B startups, the Showcase usually pays back faster than a 10x10. The exhibit-side decision tree is fully mapped on the MEDevice Silicon Valley 2026 conference profile.
2. Block hotels by July 2026. The Hyatt Regency block fills 4–5 months before the show. Even if your booth contract isn't signed yet, hold rooms.
3. Build target account list by August 2026. Pull 30–50 named Bay Area medtech companies from Crunchbase, AngelList, and recent FDA 510(k) submissions.
4. Begin pre-show outreach in September 2026. Book 12–20 meetings before you arrive. The cadence is in our pre-conference email campaigns guide.
5. Submit service kit by early September 2026. Booth electrical, internet, lead retrieval, furniture — missing this deadline costs real money.
6. Confirm pre-show meetings the week of November 9, 2026. Reconfirm with everyone who accepted; expect 20–30% drop-off.
7. Move in Tuesday, November 17, 2026. Arrive by mid-afternoon for booth setup. Doors open Wednesday at 10:00 AM PST.
8. Run the show November 18–19, 2026. Same-day-Monday post-show follow-up — not Wednesday, not "next week." Our post-conference follow-up playbook covers the conversion cadence.
