Abstract
A method of scheduling events includes receiving event data specifying sessions for an event, an event duration that encompasses a plurality of time slots, a respective duration for each session, a respective start time for the event and the sessions, and information describing a plurality of attendees; generating a first list of each possible set of time slots within which each session can be scheduled based upon the respective start times; generating a second list by removing each possible set of time slots for each session that is less than the duration specified for the session; performing a scheduling process for each session; and sending a respective electronic message presenting the schedule to each attendee.
