vCalendar Events

What is vCalendar?

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!

Viewing vCalendar Events

Your Customers will see the events you have available (see below), and can then click the 'Remind Me' button, which will automatically add the event to their own Calendar program, such as Microsoft Outlook or any other Personal Information Manager (PIM).
