We have several calendars setup in the company public folders section
and we're seeing a lot of recurring meetings being scheduled, but we
end up with overbooked conference rooms because there aren't any
notifications when a conflict arises.

So my question is: Is there a way to enable conflict notifications in
public folder calendars? If there is, is there a way to set it up
globally so anyone scheduling will get the notification rather than
manually configuring each person?

You can get notifications from public folders using this tool:
