When you see someone for the first time, then you have "met" them, so you should say: "I met people from around the world."
"Know" means, when talking about a person, that you are familiar with someone or that you have some knowledge about who they are, which is something you would not know at all upon the first meeting. So you can't say "know" in this case.
