When.com has secured more than a dozen content and e-commerce partnerships for its free personalized event listings and calendar service.

"We're bringing consumers the information they want, to help them plan their daily lives," said Ted Barnett, CEO and Co-Founder of When.com. "From concert listings to book release schedules; from sports events to trade show schedules, When.com enables its users to be up-to-date on all the events they care about."

With its launch, When.com is forging the connection between calendars, events, and commerce. Leading Internet brands, including barnesandnoble.com, Hollywood Online, N2K's Music Boulevard, and RealNetworks, highlight When.com's array of partnerships and content.
