Global Peter Drucker Forum
The Global Peter Drucker Forum is an international management conference dedicated to the management philosophy of Peter Drucker. Drucker, who lived from 1909 to 2005, was a management professor, writer, and consultant, frequently referred to as a "management guru". The Forum is held annually in November, in Drucker's home town of Vienna, Austria. It is organized by Richard Straub,[1] the founder and president of the Global Peter Drucker Forum and the Peter Drucker Society Europe, which is an affiliate of the Drucker Institute at Claremont Graduate University.[2]
