The iCal export of events seems to specify times incorrectly - it specifies a timezone reference, but then uses a UTC time. For instance, in one event that is set to happen at 5.30pm in New Zealand, the iCal has the following: DTSTART;TZID=Pacific/Auckland:20141007T043000 DTEND;TZID=Pacific/Auckland:20141007T060000 If DTSTART/DTEND include a timezone reference, the time needs to be local to that timezone. However, it's being given as UTC time. So in the above example, it's saying the event starts at 4.30am local time. Fix is to either correctly give local time, or to just remove the timezone reference and specify UTC (add a trailing "Z"). Relevant iCal spec reference: http://www.kanzaki.com/docs/ical/dateTime.html And the above example is from: https://reps.mozilla.org/e/codecraft-dunedin-october-meetup/
