Going to a writers conference is a good idea. I always learn new stuff and come back jazzed to write. It also gives you a chance to interact with other writers. I'm somewhat introverted, but it gives me a chance to step outside my comfort zone.
Doing an agent meet and greet at a conference can be good, but you need to research the agents you meet to make sure that they handle books in your genre. It's hard enough to get one interested when they do handle your genre.
You might consider joining a writers' group close to where you live. You can meet other writers in a small social setting, learn new things, get manuscript critiques and prepare yourself for larger social interactions like a conference or a speaking engagement.
Good luck.
