why don't you just go for an easy solution first. In the day cell, all "All-Day-Events" go in divs at the top. Then all other events are ordered by time_starting. If times overlap, no big deal. I don't think it is that important right off the bat to see events right next to each other if they are overlapping. May if events do overlap in time, just apply a class to them that turns them red or something so that you can see that these events overlap in some way. Have the start and finish times in the cells with the tasks would then explain where they overlap.
Overlapping events would just be a recursive problem. If you have an event at 3-4 and an event from 3 - 5 and then an event from 4-6 and then and event from 3 - , you would have a totally illegible calendar. That's my recommendation. Just get it done quick and easy and then review. I do think that most of the time the easiest and chepest approach turns out to be the best approach.
