For a read-only calendar, see Publishing Microsoft Outlook Calendars on the Internet or an Intranet.
If you don't have too many calendar items to share, you can simply send vCalendar or iCal files. This is especially useful if not everyone is using Outlook, since many other products support the vCalendar standard.
Third-party providers also offer solutions for integrated group scheduling (also see Sharing Microsoft Outlook Calendar and Contacts)

Other approaches
If you need to share information with someone using the same PC (such as two users of a home computer), see Sharing Microsoft Outlook Info on One PC.
You can also use the Briefcase or Import/Export for a certain amount of sharing on a LAN. See Using the Briefcase to share Microsoft Outlook folders.
Use web-based services to share data: Sharing Calendar and Contacts over the Internet
For older Outlook 2000 and 98, you can use NetFolders. See Sharing Calendar and Contacts: Obsolete Methods for more information.
More Information
- Sharing an Outlook mailbox with your team members
- Synchronizing Microsoft Outlook on two machines
- Personal Data Interchange -- Details on the vCard, vCalendar and iCalendar specifications for sharing. Outlook supports these, but they only let you share one contact or calendar item at a time. And Outlook does not support the VTODO and VJOURNAL types of iCalendar items, only VEVENT.
Good resources here, for PC users.
But our executives insist on using Mac.
I've managed to move to Outlook 2016, but we aren't using an exchange email provider. So we're limited to IMAP access.
Are there ANY Mac tools out there at all?
I'm not aware of any. The big problem with mac's is they don't support 3rd party utilities in Outlook. One option for sharing is using iCloud for calendar and contacts.
