Abstract: A system and method for minimizing redundant events/meetings is provided. With the system and method, when a meeting request is made, a search of meetings currently in place for the participants involved in the meeting is performed to find potential matches and patterns between them. If a potential match is found, a notification is sent to request that participants join in on a matching currently existing meeting. If that request is declined, a meeting time close to the found meeting is recommended so that preparation time is minimized for these meetings as the preparation has already been completed for the previous meeting. Not only will this maximize the amount of work time people have, it will increase the size of the community that is present within meetings. This will allow for larger collaboration between different, potentially unrelated, parties interested in the meeting topic.
