Simple, fast.
Basic, sensible, easy to use. Previously I had to use the Events Calendar and the Events Calendar Shortcode plugins together. This plugin does the job of both in one, with less overhead and less hassle.

Lightweight Plugin
Using this plugin on my site has been a good experience. It works as expected, the events are imported properly, and everything looks organized. It's also lightweight and easy to set up. Happy with it so far!
