Eventful event supported hCalendar at one point, but I believe that's been lost with a recent site redesign.
It's been a while since we've looked at it, though. Do you have any favorite sites using hCalendar?

For public events, iCalendar data is really not very useful, since it doesn't have a strong notion of "where" the event is occurring. As you can image, the location is crucially important for someone wanting to attend a public event. Since iCalendar has only a string field for specifying location, most people don't put much more than a hint as to the venue. For example, people put things like "Macky Auditorium", instead of full address information.If you want to get your events into Eventful, we have a couple of options. You can give us a data feed of some sort (XML works well) at some URL out in the Internet, and we can add your feed to our regular ingest process that periodically grabs your data and adds it to the database. Alternatively, you can use our API and add the data directly yourself. The API docs are at http://api.eventful.com.The site was supposed to not be mentioning the ping service any more - I'll make sure references to it are removed.Hope this helps. ChuckWhy not re-write the ping service to parse hCalendar ? ~ Marv.
