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.

Distinct speakers
People from this company on a program that year, each counted once.
Where they've grown or pulled back
Voltron Data has never sponsored a tracked conference, so this follows where its speakers appear instead.
DownNothing recorded in 2026; had speakers at 7 conferences in 2023.
Counted per conference. 2026 is the latest year whose conferences have mostly happened. A conference counts as no longer seen only when later events published speaker lists.
No longer seen 11
No speakers since 2024 or earlier, though the conference published speaker lists after that.
