Abstract
Technologies are described for automatic association and sharing of photos with calendar events. For example, photos or similar material associated with a calendar event may be determined and searched for through a variety of resources such as enterprise databases, personal data stores, cloud resources, or even the Internet based on an attribute of each photo and an attribute of the calendar event. Candidate photos resulting from the search may be presented to a user such as an organizer of a meeting or person setting an appointment for confirmation and selection. Upon receiving selection and confirmation of one or more photos from the candidate photos, the one or more photos may be made available to a group of users within a context of the calendar event. Various sharing options such as email, shared cloud storage, or calendar event itself may be used for sharing the photos.
