Google Calendar Introduction

What is Google Calendar? 

Google Calendar is a free online application that enables organisations and individuals to easily publish and share event information.

Why Use Google Calendar?

Key Benefits:

  • Easily and quickly publish and update your organisation's event details.
  • Your members or customers can subscribe to your calendar(s) and will always see the latest version of your schedule.
  • A summary view of your calendar(s) can be embedded in your website, displaying the next four weeks of events, so that anyone browsing your site can easily view upcoming event details.
  • You can publish nice buttons! Users who click on your button can quickly add your event (or entire calendar) to their Google Calendar service, which will help remind them about your event.
