Our Take
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. Affordable at $50/sqft.
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.
Insider Tips
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.
