Sometimes you can go to a professional event and the most important thing that happens is way outside of the convention center. You’re spending all day looking for an angel investor and you end up meeting them in the parking lot, happens all the time. I had a similar experience at the Congressional Black Caucus convention last week. As much as I wanted the event to be about the making contacts and informative panels the most powerful event of the weekend for me was meeting Oscar Quinzero, a man that I’ll never see or meet again, but who defined the weekend for me.
