Attend a conference or convention? Negotiate a contract? Yes on the B-1, but no on a B-2 only. If you have a combination B-1/B-2 visa, you should inform the U.S customs officer of the main purpose of your visit. Get admitted in the right classification.  The B-1 is more flexible than the B-2 classification. You may engage in business activities and tourism with a B-1.
