The benefit of having a Google Calendar account is that you can get notifications and easy access to it from your Google account. Of course, members who are authorized to make changes to the calendar are required to have a Google calendar account, because that is where they edit it.

What is a Google account

Google has many service, such as email (gmail), Google Voice (voip), Calendar, and many others. Some of these services require an additional login, but you only need one Google account. For instance, if you are in Gmail and go to your Google Calendar, you will need to log into that, but you use the same login as your Gmail, or any other Google service you use.
