History

1952 – Creation of the Agenda Planning® concept
Dr. Francis Georges Beltrami invented for his personal use, a new time planning concept allowing him to see the week's meetings on a double page at a glance: the Agenda Planning®. Dr. Beltrami made his first agenda by imprinting the white sheets of a notebook with a stamp to represent the Agenda Planning® grid.

1954 – Creation of Editions Quo Vadis
With the enthusiasm of his family and friends for this creation, Dr. Beltrami took the plunge and productionized his invention by creating Editions Quo Vadis in 1954, in Marseilles. This agenda grid for one week on a double page structured with time slots and actions fields was the object of many patent depositories in France and abroad.

1962 – Award of Honour
With Citroen's DS and IBM's typewriter, the Quo Vadis agenda is selected and is awarded the Award of Honour as one of the greatest products of the Twentieth Century at the Art et Industrie fair held at the Louvre Museum.
