automatically implementing, by the server device, one or more data sharing actions in response to an initialization of an event, utilizing the characteristics of the plurality of historical events and the historical data sharing behavior, including automatically removing one or more users from a portion of the event at a predetermined time during the event.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the event is scheduled to occur at a future time.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the characteristics of the plurality of historical events include results of monitoring performed by the plurality of client devices.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein saving the characteristics of the plurality of historical events in association with the historical data sharing behavior includes linking the characteristics of the plurality of historical events to the historical data sharing behavior within the server device.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the historical data sharing behavior includes a creation of an instance of a meeting application in order to conduct a meeting with a plurality of users.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the historical data sharing behavior includes an invitation of one or more users to participate in the plurality of historical events.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the historical data sharing behavior includes running one or more applications that facilitate a sharing of data and sharing predetermined data with one or more users using the one or more applications, and terminating of one or more applications at a predetermined time during the plurality of historical events.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein automatically implementing the one or more data sharing actions further includes sending, from the server device to one or more client devices, instructions to run an application at the one or more client devices and make data available for sharing at the one or more client devices.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein both the characteristics of the plurality of historical events and the historical data sharing behavior are linked by the server device to an identifier of the plurality of historical events.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the characteristics of the plurality of historical events include:

a date that the plurality of historical events occurred;

a time that the plurality of historical events occurred;

a location where the plurality of historical events occurred; and

one or more users attending the plurality of historical events.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein automatically implementing the one or more data sharing actions further includes:

automatically sharing data during the event;

automatically initializing one or more applications during the event; and

automatically terminating one or more actions during the event.

12. A computer program product for identifying and storing historical data sharing behavior at a server device, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

receiving, at the server device, characteristics of a plurality of historical events from a plurality of client devices, utilizing the processor;

receiving, at the server device, the historical data sharing behavior associated with the plurality of historical events from the plurality of client devices, utilizing the processor;

saving, by the server device, the characteristics of the plurality of historical events in association with the historical data sharing behavior, utilizing the processor; and

automatically implementing, by the server device utilizing the processor, one or more data sharing actions in response to an initialization of an event, utilizing the characteristics of the plurality of historical events and the historical data sharing behavior, including automatically removing one or more users from a portion of the event at a predetermined time during the event.

13. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein the event is scheduled to occur at a future time.

14. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein the characteristics of the plurality of historical events include results of monitoring performed by the plurality of client devices.

15. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein saving the characteristics of the plurality of historical events in association with the historical data sharing behavior includes linking the characteristics of the plurality of historical events to the historical data sharing behavior within the server device.

16. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein the historical data sharing behavior includes a creation of an instance of a meeting application in order to conduct a meeting with a plurality of users.

17. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein the historical data sharing behavior includes an invitation of one or more users to participate in the plurality of historical events.

18. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein the historical data sharing behavior includes running one or more applications that facilitate a sharing of data and sharing predetermined data with one or more users using the one or more applications.

19. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein the historical data sharing behavior includes a terminating of one or more applications at a predetermined time during the plurality of historical events.

20. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein both the characteristics of the plurality of historical events and the historical data sharing behavior are linked by the server device to an identifier of the plurality of historical events.

21. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein the characteristics of the plurality of historical events are selected from a group consisting of:

a date that the plurality of historical events occurred;

a time that the plurality of historical events occurred;

a location where the plurality of historical events occurred; and

one or more users attending the plurality of historical events.

22. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein the one or more data sharing actions further include:

sharing data during the event;

initializing one or more applications during the event; and

terminating one or more actions during the event.

23. A system, comprising:
