Microsoft Exchange allows you to publish a calendar so that others can view it online. This feature generates an HTML link and an iCal (.ics) link. You can share the HTML link to let people view the calendar in a browser, or you can use the iCal link to create a listing of events on your website. This listing will sync with the calendar to reflect any updates.
