Abstract

A location-based event scheduling and coordination system includes at least one host computing device configured to accept from at least one user a first event and a second event at respectively different locations to be successively attended. The host computing device automatically considers location-based information for each of the first event and the second event to determine a possible scheduling conflict between the first event and the second event, and if a possible scheduling conflict is determined, automatically notifies the at least one user.
