Abstract

A system and method that allows an individual event participant to schedule and/or status an event and the provisions of one or more ancillary tasks associated with the event. The scheduling of the provisions of the event and ancillary tasks associated with the event are performed by the event participant without intervention of a centralized event planner using a syst em that provides for integrated scheduling of resources and calendaring of peop le within a common event-based scheduling system. The event-based scheduling system provides vertical integration of multiple sub-tasks (67) within an individual task (66) and horizontal integration of each sub-tasks across multiple tasks. The event-based scheduling system and method include an even t- based scheduling application (4) which automates and integrates all the task and sub-tasks required to plan, conduct, status and report a complex event (13) or process (60). The system and method allow real time scheduling and status monitoring of the event and the products and services associated with the event. The system components and subsystems are interconnected via a network and may be accessible via, for example, Internet.
