I don't know about the future of Ark, but the 21st of March of 2017 Ark brought their Network online, and the celebrations are starting to be prepared because this year March 21st will be the opening of ARK CON, ARK’s first official meet-up.
This, will take place on Archamps Technopole, in France. A multiday event with the presence of the ARK Team & Founders, economists, several media groups and also Government officials from both France and Switzerland.
The day 2 of this event will be open to public, “In honor of your hard work and dedication to ARK”, words from their team. So, if it is something of interest you can sign up to this event, because it is a limited number of people who will be able to join the ARKCON.
