Activity by year

Three measures on one year axis; each panel has its own scale. 2027, 2028 is still mostly ahead, so its bars are faded and incomplete.

Where they've grown or pulled back

DownSponsored 4 conferences in 2026, down from 9 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.

New 3

First sponsored in 2025 or later.

Moved down 2

Best tier fell between the first and latest year with a ranked tier.

Pulled out 1

Not sponsored since 2024 or earlier, though a later event published a complete sponsor list without them.

Steady 5

Sponsored in most years of its span at the same tier.

Once or on and off 4

No clear direction, or a gap we can’t confirm because later sponsor lists are incomplete.

Lookalikes

Companies with the most similar conference footprint: they sponsor and speak at the same conferences. Bars are cosine similarity, from 0 (nothing shared) to 1 (identical).
