SYTA Guarantee
There are plenty of opportunities to network at our conference. If you have not had the opportunity to meet with a particular buyer or seller company, let a member of the SYTA leadership, SYTA staff, or Conference Committee know and we’ll assist with arranging a personal introduction, outside of the appointment times. We’re always available to help connect you with other attendees.
