Held in Orlando, Florida, the 2020 Citrix Summit is the premier event in the partner community calendar. Spanning three days, the event covers current trends, key upcoming topics and the future of work to help clients succeed.

David McDonnell joined Forfusion as a Senior Engineer in May 2019 and is responsible for network installation, as well as providing both pre-sale and engineering support, for our varied client base.

We are delighted to announce that Forfusion has triumphed at this year’s Cisco Momentum ACES Awards, scooping the ‘Innovation Partner of the Year’ gong for 2019.
