Where they've grown or pulled back
UpSponsored 3 conferences in 2026, up from 2 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 3
First sponsored in 2025 or later.
- Data + AI Summitfirst sponsored 2025, unranked tier
- Google Cloud Nextfirst sponsored 2026, unranked tier
- Snowflake World Tour (formerly Data Cloud World Tour / Summit World Tour)first sponsored 2026, Silver
Moved up 1
Best tier rose between the first and latest year with a ranked tier.
- PyCon (national Python conferences)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 2019; the conference ran again in 2020 and 2023–26
Steady 2
