Positioning
Where does a company show up, and how? Across: the share of its presence at community-run conferences rather than commercial ones. Up: the share that is paid sponsorship rather than speaking slots.

How to read it
Each dot is a company; click it to open the company. Left means it mostly shows up at commercial events (vendor flagships, enterprise and analyst expos, cloud and streaming vendor conferences); right means community-run ones (practitioner, open-source, Postgres, Python and R, research). Bottom means it is mostly on the program as speakers; top means it mostly pays to be there.
The dashed lines split the chart at 50% each way. A company near the middle has a balanced footprint, not necessarily a small one: dot size shows how many events it was present at. Companies with few events sit on round fractions (0%, 50%, 100%), so treat those positions as rough.
Formula
For each event a company was present at: weight = 2 if it sponsored + 1 if it had speakers (both = 3). Cancelled events are left out.
community share = weight at community circuits ÷ total weight
sponsor share = sponsor weight ÷ total weight
