Where they've grown or pulled back
UpSponsored 2 conferences in 2026, up 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.
Moved up 1
Best tier rose between the first and latest year with a ranked tier.
- Current (formerly Kafka Summit)Silver 2019 → Gold 2022
Pulled out 1
Not sponsored since 2024 or earlier, though a later event published a complete sponsor list without them.
- QConlast sponsored 2020; the conference ran again in 2023–26
Once or on and off 3
No clear direction, or a gap we can’t confirm because later sponsor lists are incomplete.
