Resource validation based event scheduling in a social network

A computer system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the computer system is configured to perform a method comprising:
• identifying, based on activity in a social network, planning of an event;
• determining event parameters of the event, the determining the event parameters comprising:
• determining an anticipated number of attendees of the event;
• and
• profiling predicted attendees of the event to identify attendee preferences, wherein the event parameters comprise the determined anticipated number of attendees and attendee preferences;
• soliciting resource validation information from one or more network connected smart devices providing one or more resources at a location for the event, the resource validation information indicating ability of each network connected smart device of the one or more network connected smart devices to support estimated use of the network connected smart device, the estimated use being based on the determined event parameters;
• receiving from the one or more network connected smart devices the resource validation information;
• and
• scheduling the event based on the resource validation information.
