Hi David,

I apologize for the frustration, we should have been more detailed in our previous replies.

Trying to open an .ics file on a computer will always trigger it to launch the installed calendar software, Outlook on a PC and Calendar on a Mac. Since Google Calendar is a web based tool, you have to use it's import feature in order to add the .ics file to it.

At this time we only have add to Google Calendar options for attendees registering for the webinar, organizers and panelists need to import the .ics file into their calendar or have their Outlook/Calendar set to sync automatically with Google Calendar.
