Methodology

How these numbers were counted

  • Source: the Luminik catalog of 40,000+ events. Listings come from organizer websites.
  • 2027 events: 12,221 events with a 2027 start date known to the day or the month. Weeks and start days use the 11,005 with an exact start day.
  • Calls for speakers: days from the published deadline to the event start date, for events whose start date is known to the day. The 2026 figure covers 1,133 events and the 2027 figure 458.
  • Ticket prices: the lowest price on the organizer's site, often an early or single-day rate. Medians use USD prices only, so no exchange rates are applied.
  • Sponsors: names on organizer-published sponsor and partner lists for events starting in 2026 or 2027, counted once per event. Trade associations and placeholder text are removed. Names are counted as listed, so Google and Google Cloud count separately.
  • Cities and countries: counted as listed. Removing duplicates and events held outside the city lowers some counts, such as Las Vegas from 184 to 163.
  • Venues: venue names as listed, with spelling variants merged for ExCeL London, NEC Birmingham, Tokyo Big Sight, Dubai World Trade Centre and Las Vegas Convention Center.
  • Each event has its own page in the conference catalog.
