The Code

The code is fairly simple, and you can download the whole package, including sample CSV here

If you want to modify the format of how Sessions are put into the CSV you will need to modify the following lines (Lines 64-67)


#Modify theses line to change description/summary/location depending on your format
#My format is "Summary Location"
sum = item[i].split(' ')
event.add('summary', sum[0])
event.add('location', sum[1])
