Where they've grown or pulled back
FlatSponsored 1 conference in 2026, flat 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.
Pulled out 1
Not sponsored since 2024 or earlier, though a later event published a complete sponsor list without them.
- Haystacklast sponsored 2024; the conference ran again in 2026
Steady 2
Sponsored in most years of its span at the same tier.
- AI Engineer (World's Fair, Summit and regional editions)2 of 3 years 2024–26, mostly Gold
- AWS re:Inventevery year 2024–25, Gold
Once or on and off 1
No clear direction, or a gap we can’t confirm because later sponsor lists are incomplete.
- The AI Summitonce, 2022, Bronze
