Abstract

An online system associated with a venue provides an application to client devices that allows a user to select an additional user from information accessible to a client device and to identify a meeting point within the venue for the user and the additional user to meet. The application identifies the additional user to an online system, which determines whether the additional user also uses the online system and is within a threshold distance of the venue. If the additional user is a user of the online system and is within the threshold distance of the venue, the online system transmits a request to travel to the meeting point to a client device associated with the additional user. The online system also provides directions to the user's client device and to the additional user's client device for the user and the additional user, respectively, to travel to the meeting point.
