Does Start/End Date include the time and date? I would include the
following columns (probably as Check box or Icon):
 All day events
 Recurring events
 Events with reminders
 Meetings vs Appointments
 Time shown as Free vs Busy
 
A column for meeting organizer might also be useful.

Looks pretty complete. Having a Status and completion check box columns
is a bit redundant, but I don't see an easy way to combine them.

I never thought the note pad icon was very useful.
