From Rapportive to Buffer, we're big fans of helpful Chrome extensions.  One excellent chrome extension that hits close to home is Google Calendar's chrome extension.  

This extension lets you see your upcoming events at a glance on any page, telling you exactly how long you have until your next meeting.  It also allows you to right click on events on sites like Meetup.com and Eventbrite and seamlessly add these events to your calendar.
