And there may also be a third category: industrial-strength,
enterprise-class scheduling systems, exemplified by products such as
Dean Evans & Associates' EMS series.

Regarding the first category mentioned by Richard, public events
calendars, there was a long discussion on this list back in late
November 2007 of potential alternatives. Based solely on comments in
that thread (and taking them at face value :), the systems that were
mentioned - and this is by no means a complete list - included:

University of Washington)
