Where they've grown or pulled back
DownSponsored 1 conference in 2026, down from 2 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 2
Not sponsored since 2024 or earlier, though a later event published a complete sponsor list without them.
- Data Summit (DBTA)last sponsored 2023; the conference ran again in 2024–26
- SQLSaturdaylast sponsored 2024; the conference ran again in 2025–26
Steady 1
Sponsored in most years of its span at the same tier.
- PASS Data Community Summit (formerly PASS Summit)every year 2023–24, unranked tier
Once or on and off 2
No clear direction, or a gap we can’t confirm because later sponsor lists are incomplete.
- Big Data LDNonce, 2024, tier not listed
- Postgres Conference (PostgresConf)once, 2024, unranked tier
