Where they've grown or pulled back
FlatSponsored 3 conferences in 2026, flat from 3 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 2
Sponsored in most years of its span at the same tier.
- IEEE ICDE (International Conference on Data Engineering)every year 2023–25, Gold
- VLDB (International Conference on Very Large Data Bases)3 of 4 years 2023–26, Gold
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)2 of 4 years, 2023–26
