Solution #1: Dynamic calendar with event link (iCalendar) support
Posted on 2009-10-30 05:32 UTC by Randall Arnold.
We need a full-blown dynamic calendar that supports exporting events using the iCalendar format. Interested parties could click on iCalendar objects and receive events to their phone, PC, or other supporting device.
iCal objects could also be shared in email announcements, feeds, Talk posts, etc.

Solution #2: Use the vBulletin Announcement feature
Posted on 2009-12-07 18:10 UTC by Kathy Smith.
VBulletin has an announcement feature, which will sticky an announcement thread in every forum. While that's clearly not something you'd want to over-use, it could be handy for a few days before an event where you want the whole community to engage. It has the advantage that it would be seen by people who limit their isit to one or two fora.
That assumes you have that feature on this version of vBulletin.
