Can I mention the name on the cover letter whom I had a talk with during the info session (without asking for consent)?

I wonder if I can drop the names of some one I had a talk during the info session, which I did not ask a referral from them. Does name drops equal to the referral? One of my friend said you have to ask for consent before put his/her name on the cover letter. Again thank you for your answers.

Absolutely. It's not a referral. You can mention something he said during your conversation as well. If the person had a favorable impression it may help. If not.....
