Where they've grown or pulled back
FlatSponsored 1 conference in 2026, flat from 1 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.
New 2
First sponsored in 2025 or later.
- ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD)first sponsored 2025, unranked tier

Pulled out 1
Not sponsored since 2024 or earlier, though a later event published a complete sponsor list without them.
