Where they've grown or pulled back
FlatSponsored 4 conferences in 2026, flat 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.
Moved down 1
Best tier fell between the first and latest year with a ranked tier.
