Where Union.ai shows up, by circuit. Each event counts once: 2 if it sponsored, 1 if it only had speakers. Hover a segment for the conference.

Presence by conference and year

Each cell is one conference in one year. Fill shows the company sponsored, shaded by its best tier that year; a dot means it had speakers there. Hover for details; click to open the event.

Activity by year

Three measures on one year axis; each panel has its own scale. 2027, 2028 is still mostly ahead, so its bars are faded and incomplete.

Conferences present at

Distinct conferences each year, split by whether the company sponsored or only had speakers there.

  • Sponsored
  • Speakers only

Distinct speakers

People from this company on a program that year, each counted once.

Where they've grown or pulled back

UpSponsored 5 conferences in 2026, up from 3 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.

Moved up 1

Best tier rose between the first and latest year with a ranked tier.

Steady 1

Sponsored in most years of its span at the same tier.

Once or on and off 3

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

Lookalikes

Companies with the most similar conference footprint: they sponsor and speak at the same conferences. Bars are cosine similarity, from 0 (nothing shared) to 1 (identical).
