Ho conosciuto means that you and that person were introduced to each other, or just began chatting or whatever, and now you know their name, will recognise them if you meet again and so on.
Similarly, “have you met XXX?” translates more or less to conosci XXX?
The verb incontrare is more generic, and convey the notion of meeting someone, either by chance or deliberately, whether you already know them or not. A good description (in Italian) of its uses, with lots of examples, is here.
