[Sandra Machemba](https://www.adaptit.com/esd/esd-blog/author/sandra-machemba) :  October 30, 2025

![CIO-Konect Event](https://www.adaptit.com/hubfs/ESD/blog/1749113871256.jpg)

Congratulations to our ESD partner, [KONECTA](https://za.linkedin.com/company/konectagroup?trk=public_post-text), on hosting a highly successful [#CIO](https://www.linkedin.com/signup/cold-join?session_redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Ffeed%2Fhashtag%2Fcio&trk=public_post-text)-Konect event in partnership with [#AdaptIT](https://www.linkedin.com/signup/cold-join?session_redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Ffeed%2Fhashtag%2Fadaptit&trk=public_post-text) - the first of many to come!

[Adapt IT Holdings Proprietary Limited](https://za.linkedin.com/company/adapt-it-holdings-proprietary-limited?trk=public_post-text) is proud to be part of this journey, supporting SMMEs through our Enterprise & Supplier Development (ESD) programme. Watching [KONECTA](https://za.linkedin.com/company/konectagroup?trk=public_post-text) bring together [#CIOs](https://www.linkedin.com/signup/cold-join?session_redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Ffeed%2Fhashtag%2Fcios&trk=public_post-text) from across sectors under one roof to unpack the future of digital transformation was nothing short of inspiring. Together, we explored key trends in [#AI](https://www.linkedin.com/signup/cold-join?session_redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Ffeed%2Fhashtag%2Fai&trk=public_post-text), [#cybersecurity](https://www.linkedin.com/signup/cold-join?session_redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Ffeed%2Fhashtag%2Fcybersecurity&trk=public_post-text), [#cloudcomputing](https://www.linkedin.com/signup/cold-join?session_redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Ffeed%2Fhashtag%2Fcloudcomputing&trk=public_post-text), and the evolving workplace — with powerful insights on how organizations are leveraging Microsoft technologies to drive innovation, strengthen data protection, and unlock sustainable digital growth.

Adapt IT values our ESD partnership with [#Konecta](https://www.linkedin.com/signup/cold-join?session_redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Ffeed%2Fhashtag%2Fkonecta&trk=public_post-text) and remains committed to empowering small businesses, supporting innovation, and championing their continued growth journey.

A big thank you to all the speakers, attendees, and collaborators who contributed to the success of the day. The energy in the room was a testament to the power of connection, innovation, and community.

Here’s to many more impactful collaborations with our ESD partners!
