You somehow have to trigger a conflict with items that carry a KCal::Event 
payload. Then the conflictdialog should load the kcal serializer plugin.

No, it doesn't do any formatting, just collects the diff information between 
two Akonadi::Item instances (see SerializerPluginKCal::compare).

The formatting of the diff is done by the HtmlDifferencesReporter class
in kdepimlibs/akonadi/conflicthandling/conflictresolvedialog.cpp
This should be generic (also we could make it a bit more pretty ;)) for all
types, it just shows which fields differ/conflict.
It's the task of the serializer plugins to define the fields (e.g. phone 
number, start date, etc.)

Ciao,
Tobias
