To meet you
💬 In [Sie zu treffen], the [zu] goes with the verb [treffen] to mean [to meet]. You'll see the same pattern in [schön, Sie kennenzulernen] or [gut, das zu wissen].
🇩🇪 At a career event, [Es ist schön, Sie zu treffen] is polite but a bit more formal and deliberate than everyday English [nice to meet you]. Many people also use [Freut mich] for a slightly lighter, natural networking tone.
