Title---I don't think Solms had a private conversation with Balmer.
The WSJ event is defined as a "discussion" with Balmer.

Ballmer goes on at 3PM ET / 12PM PT, and he's supposed to be discussing "reflections and predictions" on his career in tech. Our live blog should be at least as entertaining as the talk itself, making the combined result a indescribably compelling event that you won't want to miss. You can follow along right here."
Here is the tweet from Solms. Please note it does NOT say he had a face to face or private chat, only that there was great conversation at WSJD and Ballmer participated in the conversation.
"Had a great conversation today at WSJD Live with Steve Ballmer. Great insight on how Wave and MSFT can work together better".
