ADD VCALENDAR OR ICALENDAR TO MY WEBSITE

"Use vCalendar to allow your website users to add reminders about your events"

What is vCalendar or iCalendar?

vCalendar is a standard exchange format for calendar data, and is used by most well-known calendar and scheduling packages enabling users to exchange and synchronise meeting and event information. iCalendar is a newer standard, and is heavily based upon vCalendar. It is not yet as widely supported as vCalendar, but we are happy to provide iCalendar solutions where required!

You can incorporate this free web calendar software on your website quite easily, giving your visitors the opportunity to automatically add reminders to their desktop calendar software (such as Microsoft Outlook).
