Shared Exchange Calendar on iPhone
We have a team of 4 people that would like to use a shared calendar for an upcoming conference they will be attending. The purpose of this calendar is to have all 4 of their schedules while they are at a conference. Using the shared calendar, they would be able to see which sessions/meetings the other team members are in at a quick glance.
Setting up the calendar in their Outlook's works fine. The issue is having them open that shared calendar on their iPhones. Is there a way to open shared calendars on the iPhone? The creator of the shared calendar can open it on the iPhone, but the other 3 are not able to. They are able to open it on their laptops within Outlook though.
We use Exchange 2010 with Outlook 2013. The iPhones are managed by MobileIron and use the Apple default mail app. I've also tried the Outlook app on the iPhone with on luck.
Any guidance on how to make this work or if there is another solution other than the shared calendar approach would be appreciated!

Oh yeah, you need to enable iCal publishing on the exchange.
Good catch :D

The Outlook iOS app supports calendar sharing. So no need to enable iCal publishing or training users to publish instead of just sharing directly with the people they want:

That's on 365 and not exchange 2010, so that won't work.
Completely missed that. :)
It happens to the best of us :-)

Ok, great conversation and tips! I'll look into iCal publishing!
Thanks, I'll update the post whether it worked or not.

Thanks to all of you! I had to enable on the back end. Once I was able to Publish and subscribe.
Worked like a charm!

Just a quick post on how to view an Exchange 2010 shared calendar/mailbox on your iPhone or iPad…
Once you’ve (or your admin has) configured Exchange to allow iCal publishing, you can then send links via email from the shared calendar mailbox itself:
On the iOS device, you can then click the webcal: link in the email, which will allow you to subscribe to the Calendar:
