Abstract
Disclosed herein is a system and method for performing automated location integrated ordering of products and services at an event. This may be accomplished through placing product orders to one or more vendors using a portable electronic device, wherein upon placing an order, event-specific location information stored on the portable electronic device may be sent along with the order. Upon fulfilling the order, the products may be delivered to the event-specific location information. In addition to performing product ordering, the portable electronic device may also be used to remotely sign up for or check the status of event-specific services or activities. Also, the portable electronic device may be used to locate event services, activities, or attendees and provide a map or directions from the event-specific location to the event service, activity, or attendee.
