Abstract: Event management systems, methods, and computer program products. The event management system receives data defining participants and dates for an event, such as a business meeting. The system may determine the availability of the participants on the proposed dates based on data received from one or more calendar applications, if available. The system may then generate a plurality of event options based on participant availability and option costs. An event organizer may then select options from the plurality of options, and cause the selected options to be sent to the participants. The participants classify the received options as preferred, acceptable, or unacceptable. Based on these classifications, the system determines acceptable options which may include a “best option”. The event organizer selects one or more acceptable options for confirmation by the participants. In response to the participants confirming an option, the option may be booked by the event management system.
