Where they've grown or pulled back
FlatSponsored 1 conference in 2026, flat 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.
Pulled out 1
Not sponsored since 2024 or earlier, though a later event published a complete sponsor list without them.
- ICLR (International Conference on Learning Representations)last sponsored 2019; the conference ran again in 2023–26
Steady 2
Sponsored in most years of its span at the same tier.
- FOSDEMevery year 2021–27, unranked tier
- NeurIPS (Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems)every year 2019–20, Silver
