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.
Steady 1
Sponsored in most years of its span at the same tier.
- MLSys (Conference on Machine Learning and Systems)every year 2024–25, unranked tier
Once or on and off 1
No clear direction, or a gap we can’t confirm because later sponsor lists are incomplete.
- ACM SIGMOD/PODS (International Conference on Management of Data)once, 2023, unranked tier
