MD&M West 2027 Trade Show & Booth Staffing

MD&M West takes place February 9–11, 2027 at the Anaheim Convention Center, 800 W Katella Ave, Anaheim, CA 92802. The expo covers MedTech, automation, design and manufacturing, plastics, and packaging. Conference sessions and workshops have their own schedules, including activities outside the expo dates. Tell your account executive whether you need exhibit-floor staffing, appointment support or another approved marketing assignment so the quote covers the right work.

General expo hours are 10 AM–5 PM on Tuesday, February 9 and Wednesday, February 10, and 10 AM–4 PM on Thursday, February 11. Hall E opens earlier, at 9:30 AM each day. Use venue-local Anaheim time. Registration and education schedules are separate from expo access. Confirm your booth's hall, staff access, briefing and breaks before setting paid shifts. The quote form leaves clocks blank because the applicable opening time depends on your hall.

Yes. TSM can provide trade show models for booth greetings, visitor qualification and introductions to your representatives. Brief the selected team on your product category and the information your engineers or salespeople need before a handoff. At a component exhibit, that may be the application and requested specification sheet. At an equipment exhibit, it may be the demonstration or meeting the visitor wants. Confirm duties and relevant experience for the booking.

Yes. Brand ambassadors can introduce your approved company message and direct visitors to the right product specialist. Promotional models can invite attendees to an approved demonstration, distribute literature and support a booth activity. Choose the role based on what your display needs. Provide the target customer profile, talking points and escalation instructions before the show. Technical, regulatory and contractual answers should remain with your own authorized representatives.

Yes. TSM offers local Anaheim talent for MD&M West booth and event assignments. Share your hall, dates, paid hours, duties and any language or product-experience requirements. Availability and any travel charges are confirmed for the selected team. Local recruitment does not establish that an individual has worked at MD&M West or knows your display. Give staff the final badge, reporting and on-site contact instructions before arrival.

Yes, when those duties are agreed for the assignment. Confirm the selected talent's experience with your lead tool, provide the required device or login and demonstrate the fields your sales team needs. Run a test record before opening. For product demonstrations, marketing staff can manage introductions and present a rehearsed overview. Your engineers should handle equipment operation and specification questions. Staffing does not include an assumed licence or blanket certification on every lead platform.

Request the languages and level of fluency your booth requires. TSM can review suitable bilingual talent, subject to availability and confirmation for the assignment. Explain whether the role involves greeting visitors, collecting business details or presenting an approved product overview. Technical translation and regulatory discussions require separately confirmed expertise. Include language needs early so your account executive can evaluate the proposed profiles and preparation before you select the team.

Your exhibiting company should arrange the required staff registrations through the organizer's exhibitor resources and share the access instructions with TSM. The official exhibitor center links the planning portal and registration resources. A staffing booking does not itself supply an event badge or permission to enter every area. Confirm the assigned hall, badge pickup, reporting point and access needed before an early briefing or demonstration. Check current badge allowances and fees directly with the organizer.

TSM's published model tiers are Tier Two at $50–60 per hour, Tier One at $60–75 per hour, and Elite at $75+ per hour, with a four-hour minimum. The estimate depends on the selected talent, roles, languages, preparation and paid shifts. Send your booth location, dates and headcount, including any coverage before expo opening. Confirm the final rates, travel charges and quote response timing with your account executive; booth space and event registrations are separate.

TSM publishes general liability coverage of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, with certificates of insurance available on request. Share the exhibitor's insurance requirements for review before the assignment. For a technical booth, confirm the proposed talent's relevant experience and the preparation your product requires. Agency experience does not establish that every person has worked at MD&M West or can answer engineering questions. Keep specialist responsibilities clearly assigned.

No. This service provides marketing talent for booth greetings, brand representation, approved demonstration support, appointment check-in and business lead capture. Catering, bartending, wait staff, ushers, installation, freight and other exhibit labor are outside this service. Use the organizer's exhibitor resources for the appropriate contractors. If your display includes equipment, identify who installs and operates it. Tell TSM which visitor-facing duties you need so the staffing estimate stays clear.
