About MD&M East
MD&M East 2027, the East Coast's design and manufacturing show, runs on Wednesday 19 and Thursday 20 May at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York. Formerly known as Informa Markets Engineering (IME) East, it now brings six sectors under one roof: medtech, automation, packaging (the former EastPack), design and manufacturing, plastics and quality.
The organiser reports more than 4,000 attendees from 51 countries and over 300 exhibitors. It is a separate show from MD&M West in Anaheim. With only two show days, staying close to the Javits matters: Hudson Yards and Midtown West are a short walk away, Times Square is one stop on the 7 train, and Chelsea suits a quieter stay.

First time at MD&M East?
- Registration for 2027 is not open yet: the organiser's registration inquiry form lets you ask to be told when it opens

Insider tips from repeat attendees
- Thursday closes at 15:00, so an evening flight home from any of the three airports is realistic
