Where they've grown or pulled back

DownNothing recorded in 2026; sponsored 1 conference 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.

Pulled out 1

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

  • QConlast sponsored 2022; the conference ran again in 2023–26

Once or on and off 2

No clear direction, or a gap we can’t confirm because later sponsor lists are incomplete.

Lookalikes
