I would like to set calendar alerts to happen at the scheduled completion time of my events - whatever that may be. I can't seem to figure out a way to do this. You can create alarms that go off before an event starts, at the start time, or a fixed number of minutes after start time. But is there a way to set an alarm that triggers AT OR AFTER the completion time of an event, without having to specify the exact date & time?

It seems possible now to add an additional alert and choose a time after the event's start time. So if you need to pickup your kids after a 2hr game, and it takes 20mins to get there, under custom alert choose 100 minutes after

Ah look at that, they must've been listening! LOL Thanks, I've marked this as the correct answer now!– JVCMay 23, 2022 at 22:22
Just enter an alert at a customized time (which is equal to end of the event).
This works for iCal 5 (Mac OS X 10.7):
and also for iCal 7 (Mac OS X 10.9). It looks a bit different though:
Well there doesn't appear to be any actual proper solution to this, so I have resorted to simply putting an alert in at the pre-set duration of the event. Definitely not what I was hoping for but... it's the best that I could come up with. This gets me an alert at the end of the time block, but unfortunately won't automatically adjust if I alter the duration of a block.
