Tron’s plans for the beginning of 2019 have been exposed as well.

Sun and his team proved once again that they can keep a promise because they launched a new website for the Tron Developer Conference which is scheduled for early 2019, in January.

Oracle Times reports that “The conference will begin on January 17, and it will last until January 18, 2019. The venue for the event is Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, 701 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.”

The 2-day conference features inspiring content from industry thought leaders and key community members that will bring you into the vibrant world of the TRON ecosystem,” Tron describes the conference, as reported by Oracle Times.
