Location information of each participant may be linked to a reminder system or application on the participant's mobile computing device that reminds the participant of upcoming events, tasks, meetings, and so on. Instead of activating a reminder at a fixed reminder time, location information from location based services may be used to identify a current location of the mobile computing device. The identified current location may then be compared to a meeting, event, or other location and an estimated time to travel between the current location and the meeting location may be calculated. The estimated travel time may be used to identify a time to activate a reminder for the scheduled event so that the participant has sufficient time to travel and arrive on time and within a predetermined time window to the scheduled event.
