Quiero conocer a gente nueva en Italia [gente is generic here]
Quiero conocer a algunos italianos.

Quiero ver a Juan mañana para tomar un café [right if you have something important to talk about -"para tomar un café" means "to talk in private"]
Quiero encontarme con Juan mañana para tomar un café. [right, for instance, if you want to meet with a friend you haven't seen for some time with the purpose of catching up]

Tengo que recogerla en el aeropuerto. [to meet her and drive her to some place]
Tengo que recibirla al* en el aeropuerto. [same as the above phrase, but it's not clear if it is you who is driving her later -maybe you'll handle the keys of a car rented in her behalf-]
Tengo que encontrarme con ella en el aeropuerto. [it means "meeting" with no specific details; maybe both of you work there, maybe both are to take the same flight. It also may mean the previous phrases]

*that's an Italianism.
