How to Sync Meeting Maker With iCal

Meeting maker is a group scheduling and personal calendar software developed by PeopleCube. Meeting maker is used by small and large organizations alike and enables users to to send meeting invitations, reserve meeting resources and view the availability of others in the network. The software program was originally released as a Mac-only program but was then released with Windows and Linux versions. Meeting Maker can sync with iCal through the use of free software such as iMeet iCal or commercial software such as PocketMac’s GoBetween.
