Your network is one of the most valuable assets you will ever build. It determines your access to opportunity, your influence in key rooms, and your ability to turn meaningful connections into capital, collaborations, and compounded returns.
Research consistently confirms that:
- 70% of opportunities, from career moves to business growth, come through personal connections, and that
- Professionals who actively build and nurture their networks experience greater salary growth and career satisfaction.
Join us and Nicole Vasquez, founder of MBD Partners, creator of the Networking OS, a system that accelerates relationship-driven growth by combining human connection with AI innovation. A trusted connector to top executives for over 20 years, she has built and sold three companies at the intersection of community and technology.
Nicole will share how to combine AI and authentic connection in a practical, thought-provoking session on transforming networking into a high-impact asset that strengthens your leadership, expands your opportunities, and grows your net worth.

About Our Speaker
Nicole Vasquez manages networking for busy executives and their companies. Through MBD-Partners, she implements and runs her Networking OS™ – a human+AI system that maps your network, finds hidden opportunities, and shows you exactly who to engage next. She replaces random networking with strategic private events and low-lift, high-impact communities that attract the right people and grow your business.
For 20 years, Nicole has served as a trusted connector and community builder for top leaders in technology, finance, real estate, hospitality, and innovation, designing the environments where executives want to be, knowing they’ll meet people who may be transformative for their companies and careers. This unique superpower has been the backbone of her previous three companies, all at the intersection of community and technology, and all of which were acquired.
With this unique expertise, Nicole also advises companies building AI and relationship-driven technology to help their teams understand the nuances of trust, credibility, networking, and human connection.
Nicole is the top expert on how AI is changing the way we build professional relationships and how to navigate them. Her Future of Networking newsletter gives tips, frameworks, and strategies to help you turn your network into your most valuable asset.
She is also a sought-after speaker, moderator, media contributor, and workshop facilitator on the intersection of AI, trust, and human connection.
