Reducing meeting travel

A computing device, comprising:

• at least one computer-readable storage device;
• and
• at least one processor configured to access information stored on the at least one computer-readable storage device and to perform operations comprising:
• obtaining data from an electronic calendar system that indicates a plurality of electronically scheduled meetings, each of which is associated with a meeting location, a period of time, one or more participants, and a location of each participant from which the participant is required to travel to attend the meeting;
• determining a new meeting location for one or more of the meetings that reduces travel distance of each of the one or more meetings, wherein the travel distance of each meeting is based on the participant locations and the meeting location;
• and
• causing the calendar system to change the meeting location associated with each of the one or more meetings to the new meeting location.

A computer-readable storage medium that includes instructions that, if executed by a computing device having one or more processors, cause the computing device to perform operations that include:

• obtaining meeting data from an electronic calendar system for a plurality of electronically scheduled meetings;
• determining, for each of the meetings, a meeting location, a period of time, one or more participants, and a location of each participant from which the participant is required to travel to attend the meeting;
• and
• iteratively changing the meeting location of each of the meetings and determining travel distance of the meeting based on the participant locations and the meeting location to reduce a total distance that all participants of the meeting are required to travel to attend the meeting.
