The Strominger-Yau-Zaslow (SYZ) conjecture postulates that mirror dual Calabi-Yau manifolds carry dual special Lagrangian fibrations. Within the study of Mirror Symmetry the SYZ conjecture has provided a particularly fruitful point of convergence of ideas from Riemannian, Symplectic, Tropical, and Algebraic geometry over the last twenty years. I will attempt to provide a brief overview of this aspect of Mirror Symmetry.
