(Canon Communications: Los Angeles) Canon Communications LLC, a major producer of tradeshows and publications dedicated to the worldwide $220 billion medical device manufacturing market, is introducing a new show—Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) Midwest—for medical manufacturers in the central United States. The move completes the U.S. medical event landscape for Canon, which for more than two decades has produced major MD&M tradeshows on the west and east coasts and a regional exhibition serving the Twin Cities medical market in Minneapolis.

“We are quite excited to bring MD&M to this major and, until now, underserved marketplace,” says Kevin O’Keefe, senior vice president of events at Canon. “The five states surrounding the show constitute a $20 billion marketplace for medical device manufacturing and the area is home to 1,800 facilities and 20,000 readers of the leading magazines that serve the medical OEM market. Historically, only a small fraction of this audience has been in attendance at any of our other medical shows. MD&M Midwest is a great new business opportunity for our exhibitors, and a proven resource to the medical device industry.”
