What: The IADS attended for the first time the Global Peter Drucker Forum, an annual event organized in Vienna, Austria, since 2009.

Why it is important: This event is an international management conference dedicated to the management philosophy of Peter Drucker, a management professor, writer, and consultant, often referred to as a “management guru”.

This Forum gathers a rather varied crowd, from CEOs to top executives being incentivized by receiving a ticket from their hierarchy, students, coaches, and researchers, who represent the largest number of attendants. The conferences aim at making a reconciliation between pure research (systematically based on Peter Drucker’s findings) and practice, by having on-stage academics and executives.

The event was rather interesting for our thinking process, as well as for a selection of conferences that we found compelling.
