A special address for the MPYC.org Calendar can be specified by another tool (Google Calendar, Yahoo Calendar, Apple, etc.) and that external tool can request updates. Once the tool is updated, you can use your smartphone or other device to check that tool’s calendar.

For example, I can view Google Calendars on my phone so I create an additional Google Calendar in my account, specify the MPYC.org Calendar ical url and then synch my phone with my Google calendar and I can then see all MPYC calendar events on my phone.

Get the URL (web address)

Go to the ical Export page under Calendar on the MPYC.org web site
Select the Categories and Years you would like to see
I’d recommend select the “Preserve formatting in description….” option
Select the Select button
Once the page refreshes, a link should appear below the Select button
Right mouse click on the link and select Copy Link (or similar – depending on browser used)
Paste this link into your Calendar tool of choice, I’ve detailed a few below:

Go to your google Calendar – http://calendar.google.com
