Where they've grown or pulled back
DownNothing recorded in 2026; sponsored 6 conferences 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 2
Best tier rose between the first and latest year with a ranked tier.
- AWS re:InventGold 2021 → Platinum 2024
- Big Data & AI ParisGold 2021 → Platinum 2022
Moved down 1
Best tier fell between the first and latest year with a ranked tier.
- Community Over Code (formerly ApacheCon)Platinum 2019 → Gold 2022
Pulled out 3
Not sponsored since 2024 or earlier, though a later event published a complete sponsor list without them.
- Data Con LAlast sponsored 2020; the conference ran again in 2021–26
- Gartner Data & Analytics Summitlast sponsored 2023; the conference ran again in 2026
- QConlast sponsored 2019; the conference ran again in 2020 and 2023–26
Steady 2
Sponsored in most years of its span at the same tier.
- AI Engineer (World's Fair, Summit and regional editions)every year 2023–24, Gold
- Data Day Texas3 of 5 years 2019–23, mostly Platinum
Once or on and off 7
No clear direction, or a gap we can’t confirm because later sponsor lists are incomplete.
