Tron will definitely market all these things it does everywhere, so they won't have a problem annoucing about their partnership with steem.

I guess it must be that steem is promoting itself sponsoring something for marketing its brand coz Tronics is popular conference, but again they don't have money right, lays offs and stuff so I don't know what this partnership exactly is.

Now, for past few days been noticing price of Steem is rising. That is some positive.
