I'm sure this has been covered, but i can't find it.
Should i send a nice to meet you/thank you note to a person after I met them at a career fair? should it be right after the fair?

I usually send within 24 hours of meeting them. Sort of a thank-you note, with a "nice to meet you" and a little bit of "If you have some time to grab coffee and chat a bit more about what you do..."
Then meet them for coffee, express genuine interest in what they do, and talk more. Then repeat.
