Abstract: An event generation system includes a network interface and computer processor. The network interface is configured to receive an event generation request from a remote client device. The computer processor is configured to generate events in response to the event generation request by generating an event associated with the event generation request comprising a date and a location, causing the event to be communicated via the network interface to one or more invited participants, determining that a current date matches the date associated with the event, and initiating a database for storing one or more electronic photographs associated with the event. In response to determining that the current date matches the date associated with the event, the computer processor authenticates the one or more invited participants upon a determination that one or more mobile devices associated with each invited participant is located at or near the location of the event.
