Where they've grown or pulled back
DownNothing recorded in 2026; sponsored 3 conferences in 2023.
Counted per conference. 2026 is the latest year whose conferences have mostly happened. Tiers use the best tier each year; swatches show the path, oldest first. A conference counts as pulled out only when a later event published a complete sponsor list, since most events don’t say whether their list is complete.
Moved down 1
Best tier fell between the first and latest year with a ranked tier.
- Data CouncilGold 2023 → Bronze 2025
Pulled out 2
Not sponsored since 2024 or earlier, though a later event published a complete sponsor list without them.
- Coalescelast sponsored 2023; the conference ran again in 2026
- Snowflake Summitlast sponsored 2024; the conference ran again in 2025–26
Once or on and off 1
