The event will take place 7-9 February 2023, at the Anaheim Convention Center, housing all five expo brands for guests and exhibitors to connect with every facet of the manufacturing industry.
Adrienne Zepeda, group event director, said: “By showcasing the latest and greatest the manufacturing industry has to offer from design, to prototyping, packaging, and assembly robotics to automation across various industries of innovation such as medical to cannabis, the west based manufacturing event is the premier meeting place to connect across the constantly evolving manufacturing markets. Focusing our event on five key industries under the manufacturing umbrella will offer an endless range of products and education from global powerhouse brands that inspire collective innovation and growth.”
Last year’s show hosted more than 1,400 exhibitors on the expo floor and registered participants had the opportunity to engage with 145 sessions throughout the three-day event. Continuing this year, the Smart Event format will be available and serve as a tool before, during and post-show, allowing registrants to connect with exhibitors and attendees for networking opportunities.
Zepeda added: “It is critical to stress how much this tradeshow has evolved since returning to live spaces. With the addition of the Smart Event format, we have taken measures to further enhance and expand the possibilities for in-person engagement and as well as further extend our event remotely to those who cannot attend the show in-person.”
Registrants can download the Smart Event platform where they can exclusively network pre-event and post-show with attending guests, brands, exhibitors, and press. With the smart event, planning the West experience ahead allows registrants to add sessions to their agenda, the opportunity to schedule meetings, connect through direct message, and research suppliers and vendors who will be on-site. The digital platform also provides more visibility to brands, as attendees can see shared logos, headshots, bios, descriptions and more.
Attendees will have the opportunity to network with exhibitors and speakers across the advanced design and manufacturing industry in three action-packed days. With nearly 1,500 exhibitors slated to showcase their latest innovations and designs, with increasing interest in attendance, the event will showcase innovations from top brands such as 3M, B. Braun, Confluent, Teleflex Medical OEM, Zeus, Canon Virginia, FANUC, Protolabs and more.
