Where they've grown or pulled back
DownNothing recorded in 2026; sponsored 1 conference 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.
- Data Summit (DBTA)last sponsored 2024; the conference ran again in 2025–26
Steady 2
Sponsored in most years of its span at the same tier.
- Percona Live3 of 5 years 2019–23, mostly Silver
- PyCon (national Python conferences)3 of 4 years 2021–24, mostly Silver
Once or on and off 2
No clear direction, or a gap we can’t confirm because later sponsor lists are incomplete.
