Where they've grown or pulled back
UpSponsored 3 conferences in 2026, up from 1 in 2022.
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.
New 3
First sponsored in 2025 or later.

- Data Engineering Open Forumfirst sponsored 2026, Gold
- EMNLP (Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing)first sponsored 2025, Platinum
Once or on and off 1
No clear direction, or a gap we can’t confirm because later sponsor lists are incomplete.
