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.....

 

Sunt quis sed deleniti perferendis sint id et. Nesciunt dolor incidunt quis quis asperiores ab. Quo aut doloribus repellat et. Quo sit ratione et explicabo qui.

Labore repellendus quae est quaerat ipsam eos non. Temporibus quasi soluta eum consequatur. Dolorum pariatur architecto aliquam possimus adipisci sint. Occaecati soluta consequatur sed nihil nobis est.

Facilis sunt unde eius asperiores odit. Rerum consequatur error est eveniet dolore.
