Where they've grown or pulled back

UpSponsored 3 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 1

First sponsored in 2025 or later.

Moved up 1

Best tier rose between the first and latest year with a ranked tier.

Pulled out 1

Not sponsored since 2024 or earlier, though a later event published a complete sponsor list without them.

  • DataTunelast sponsored 2024; the conference ran again in 2026

Steady 1

Sponsored in most years of its span at the same tier.

Once or on and off 1

No clear direction, or a gap we can’t confirm because later sponsor lists are incomplete.

Lookalikes

Companies with the most similar conference footprint: they sponsor and speak at the same conferences. Bars are cosine similarity, from 0 (nothing shared) to 1 (identical).
