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.
New 1
First sponsored in 2025 or later.
- EMNLP (Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing)first sponsored 2025, Bronze
Steady 1
Sponsored in most years of its span at the same tier.
- MLOps World (Machine Learning in Production)every year 2023–24, Gold
