Did Synnex sponsor this before? I didn't remember them sponsoring before. Nice to see them sponsoring....being a major Greenville employer.

They began sponsoring it last year. Not sure how long their sponsor contract is valid for.

They've also committed to keeping their annual conference in Greenville for the next 3 years: Synnex to keep national conference in Greenville | greenvilleonline.com | The Greenville News

I just hope against hope that the City/CVB and/or any other economic development agencies can find a seamless way to shuttle attendees for this (or any other) large conference between the Carlina First Center and downtown hotels/restaurants. While the actual drive between the two isn't far, it's not terribly attractive, and still a pain (I'm sure) to attendees.
