Hi, Thanks for your the input DPM and you are correct in your assessment. But if you really want to get the UTC offset, there is a roundable way to do that. Since all events and its start/end time description is normalized to the calendar timezone UTC offset, therefore if you take an event within a calendar and parse out the trailing part of the iCal string of its start time you will get something like -07:00 (pacific daylight saving offset).
