The MT Series WEST 2025 Rewind

MT Series WEST

You felt the charge. You saw the future. Now, let the momentum build.

This year, we kicked things off with the official launch of The Manufacturing Technology Series WEST in Anaheim, and the atmosphere was nothing short of historic.

The floor was electric from the moment the doors opened. We packed 203,000 square feet with 350+ leading exhibitors, delivering three days of nonstop, innovation designed to help you See it. Scale it. Solve it.

Everywhere you turned, industry breakthroughs were happening in real time. But the innovation didn't stop there. Over 50 industry titans took the stage, dissecting manufacturing's toughest challenges and elevating the game-changing ideas that will dominate the coming year.

This wasn't just an exhibition.

It was a full-throttle celebration of problem-solving, strategic growth, and the precise technology you need to scale fast and solve your biggest business needs.

Take a moment to soak it in. Feel the camaraderie. Recognize the progress. This is what winning looks like.

Networking at MT Series WEST

Connecting People. Driving Business Forward.

Registering for the Manufacturing Technology Series WEST isn’t just about learning; it’s about showing up for the conversations that move your business forward. When you’re on the floor, you’re not watching from a screen, you’re shaking hands with industry leaders, asking real questions, and getting real solutions in real time. One connection can turn into a partnership, one demo can spark a breakthrough, and one conversation can shift the direction of your company. That is why being in the room matters. This event is where opportunity doesn’t wait for you, it meets you face-to-face.

“Attending events and networking with people in person opens valuable opportunities. I was having difficulty meeting the demand at my business, so I came here seeking solutions. Instead of facing the challenge alone, I decided to outsource and collaborate with another company. This approach helped me address my demand issues while also enhancing my business.”
