Probably the easiest thing to do would be to format all your times in UTC. Then, when someone receives the event in Gmail, Gmail should automatically convert from UTC to whatever the person's timezone is set to in Gmail's settings.

UTC times end in "Z" and do not need a VTIMEZONE component. The following property uses UTC time:
