Abstract
Techniques enable contextually-aware selections of event forums. Scheduling data can be analyzed to identify a context associated with an appointment. A forum that is appropriate for the identified context can be selected and utilized. The analysis can also utilize traffic data, map data, weather data, user preferences, and other contextual data to select one or more forums. A forum can be a place or communication medium. A service provider can associate one or more forums with a particular skill set. For example, a legal office can associate an online forum, such a videoconference, with a first category of services, and an on-site location for a second category of services. Depending on a category of services identified in one or more user preferences and/or meeting requests, a forum can be selected. Other factors, which may include weather conditions, traffic conditions, and commute times can also influence the selection of a forum.
