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.

Conferences present at

Distinct conferences each year, split by whether the company sponsored or only had speakers there.

  • Sponsored
  • Speakers only

Distinct speakers

Where they've grown or pulled back

DownSponsored 3 conferences in 2026, down from 4 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.

Pulled out 1

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

Steady 3

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

Once or on and off 5

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).
