Where they've grown or pulled back
UpSponsored 2 conferences in 2026, up from 1 in 2022.
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.
Steady 1
Sponsored in most years of its span at the same tier.
- ODSC (Open Data Science Conference)2 of 3 years 2024–26, mostly Silver
Once or on and off 2
No clear direction, or a gap we can’t confirm because later sponsor lists are incomplete.
- ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD)once, 2022, unranked tier
- IEEE VIS (IEEE Visualization and Visual Analytics)2 of 8 years, 2019–26
