Cualquier fecha me conviene para la reunión.
Any date suits me for the meeting.
From Lesson 336:The indefinite any (cualquier, cualquiera)·Spanish (Spain)

Questions & Answers about Cualquier fecha me conviene para la reunión.

Why is it Cualquier instead of Cualquiera if fecha is a feminine word?
Even though fecha is feminine, the word cualquiera always drops its final -a to become cualquier whenever it comes right before a singular noun. This rule applies to both masculine and feminine nouns.
Could I put the word for 'any' after the noun instead in this sentence?
Yes, but the form changes! If it comes after the noun, it keeps its full form. You would say una fecha cualquiera. Placing it after the noun often adds a slight emphasis, meaning 'any random date', whereas cualquier fecha is the standard way to say 'any date'.
Why do we say me conviene? Is it acting like the verb gustar?
Exactly. The verb convenir (to suit / to be convenient) works similarly to gustar. The date is the thing doing the action (it suits), and you are the one receiving the benefit. So, Cualquier fecha is the subject, and me is the indirect object pronoun showing who it suits.
Why use para instead of por in para la reunión?
We use para here because it indicates purpose or destination. The date is intended specifically for the event of the meeting. If you used por, it would mean the date suits you because of the meeting, rather than being the time slot intended for it.
