Where they've grown or pulled back
DownSponsored 2 conferences in 2026, down from 4 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.
- Current (formerly Kafka Summit)every year 2023–25, mostly Silver
- Data Streaming Summitevery year 2023–26, mostly Community tier
Once or on and off 2
No clear direction, or a gap we can’t confirm because later sponsor lists are incomplete.
