Is MEDevice SV worth exhibiting?
Why Exhibit
Silicon Valley's dedicated medical device event connecting 150+ suppliers with 1,200 medtech OEM engineers and startup founders. The tech-forward audience (AI, IoT, connected health, digital therapeutics) differentiates MEDevice from the larger MD&M shows. Free expo admission drives strong booth traffic for a small show.
Why Skip
Small show (1,200 attendees, 150 exhibitors) in a 2-day format limits lead volume. Silicon Valley skews toward startups and digital health. Traditional medical device manufacturers may find better ROI at MD&M West (7,000+ attendees). No clinical audience. November timing conflicts with HLTH, CHIME, and other fall shows.
What should exhibitors know before MEDevice SV?
MEDevice SV is the Silicon Valley outpost of the MD&M family, smaller and more startup-oriented than MD&M West. Good for digital health and connected device companies, less relevant for traditional contract manufacturing or molding companies who should exhibit at MD&M West or Midwest instead.

Six weighted factors, each scored on a 0 to 100 rubric then normalized to a 7.0 to 10.0 band. Every show on this list cleared a relevance bar to be included, so 7.0 is the floor; the number tells you how far the leaders pull ahead. A factor we cannot source is left unscored rather than estimated, and the overall score above was set before any figure behind it was withdrawn.
