Where they've grown or pulled back
DownSponsored 1 conference in 2026, down from 3 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.
New 2
First sponsored in 2025 or later.
- Google Cloud Nextfirst sponsored 2026, unranked tier
- PostgreSQL Conference Europe (PGConf.EU)first sponsored 2025, Bronze
Pulled out 1
Not sponsored since 2024 or earlier, though a later event published a complete sponsor list without them.
- Data Summit (DBTA)last sponsored 2019; the conference ran again in 2022–26
Once or on and off 3
No clear direction, or a gap we can’t confirm because later sponsor lists are incomplete.
