I'm guessing what I would do, because I haven't worked for anyone but myself in more than 30 years. That said, I see two potential ethical issues.
The first is whether it is okay to continue working for someone after you have decided to leave: yes if you can do your job as normal, no otherwise.
The convention, as such is a red herring, because it is wrong to pursue any activities during work hours, other than those required by your employer. It makes no difference whether you are at a convention, working in the office, or whatever. However your own time is your own, again regardless of circumstances, so if you can arrange an appointment in your own time, go for it.
It is probably worth recognizing that if your potential employer has standards of his own, he will not favor you if he believes you are cheating your present boss. Therefore if you do meet him at the convention, make sure he understands that you are on your own time.
