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

Where they've grown or pulled back

FlatSponsored 3 conferences in 2026, flat from 3 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 2

First sponsored in 2025 or later.

Moved up 1

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

Moved down 1

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

Steady 1

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

  • QCon4 of 7 years 2019–25, Silver

Once or on and off 1

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).
