Where they've grown or pulled back
UpSponsored 2 conferences in 2026, up from 1 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.
- MCP Dev Summit / AGNTCon + MCPConfirst sponsored 2026, Silver
- NeurIPS (Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems)first sponsored 2026, Platinum
Once or on and off 2
No clear direction, or a gap we can’t confirm because later sponsor lists are incomplete.
