Where they've grown or pulled back
DownSponsored 1 conference in 2026, down from 4 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 down 1
Best tier fell between the first and latest year with a ranked tier.
- NeurIPS (Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems)Gold 2022 → Bronze 2025
Pulled out 2
Not sponsored since 2024 or earlier, though a later event published a complete sponsor list without them.
- ACML (Asian Conference on Machine Learning)last sponsored 2019; the conference ran again in 2021–25
- EMNLP (Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing)last sponsored 2023; the conference ran again in 2024–26
Steady 2
Sponsored in most years of its span at the same tier.

- Snowflake World Tour (formerly Data Cloud World Tour / Summit World Tour)3 of 4 years 2023–26, mostly Platinum
Once or on and off 4
No clear direction, or a gap we can’t confirm because later sponsor lists are incomplete.
