A couple links I've found using google:
http://outport.sourceforge.net/index.php
http://circle.ch/blog/p1542.html
http://www2.et.byu.edu/~njones/share/outlook2ical/

Otherwise, it looks like you'll need to write a VB program using the
Outlook.{Application,Namespace,MAPIFolder,ContactItem,...} COM objects,
then probably use Task Scheduler to actually run the program. You'll
want to see if you can find any documentation on the interfaces of those
objects; otherwise, you might just have to do some exploratory coding,
relying on VB's Intellisense feature (time consuming and painful).
A few more links:

http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/OutlookConnector.asp

(Disclaimer: All of the above is random googling and conjecture... I
have not written anything using the Outlook COM objects before, nor used
the direct converters above.)

Hope this helps,
Kevin
