Main Success Scenario

The Business Event Attendee arrives at the correct event place at the correct time.

1. The Business Event Attendee has been invited to attend the event on our social network.

2. They know that others of their Business friends will either be going or might want to go, although they are new to the business and therefore are unsure of where their colleagues live.

3. A group of people agree to go from various different locations.

4. The Business Event Attendee puts in “walking” as their travel preference as they live near the event location.

5. Our travel algorithm suggests that our Business Event Attendee walks with 3 of their other colleagues that all live in the near vicinity.

Extensions:

1. The Business Event Attendee wants to know whether or not to walk based on the weather. Our application tells them that there will not be rain at the time they would walk to the event.
