Catalysis of the formation of sialylglycoconjugates via transfer of the sialic acid group from CMP to one of several glycoconjugate acceptors. Catalysis of the transfer of a glycosyl group from one compound (donor) to another (acceptor). Catalysis of the reaction: CMP-N-acetylneuraminate + beta-D-galactosyl-1,4-acetyl-beta-D-glucosamine = CMP + alpha-N-acetylneuraminyl-2,6-beta-D-galactosyl-1,4-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosamine.
