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 2
Not sponsored since 2024 or earlier, though a later event published a complete sponsor list without them.
- ICML (International Conference on Machine Learning)last sponsored 2022; the conference ran again in 2023–26
- MLSys (Conference on Machine Learning and Systems)last sponsored 2024; the conference ran again in 2025–26
Steady 2

- ACM SIGMOD/PODS (International Conference on Management of Data)3 of 4 years 2019–22, mostly Media tier
- VLDB (International Conference on Very Large Data Bases)4 of 5 years 2019–23, unranked tier
Once or on and off 1
No clear direction, or a gap we can’t confirm because later sponsor lists are incomplete.
- NeurIPS (Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems)once, 2020, unranked tier
