Where they've grown or pulled back
FlatSponsored 2 conferences in 2026, flat from 2 in 2024.
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.
- AI Engineer (World's Fair, Summit and regional editions)first sponsored 2026, unranked tier
Moved up 1
