Where they've grown or pulled back
DownSponsored 3 conferences in 2026, down from 6 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 up 3
Best tier rose between the first and latest year with a ranked tier.
