Time Zone Converter for International Meetings

What ZoneMeets does

ZoneMeets shows the same moment as the local time in every city you pin: time, date, UTC offset and a label for the local hour (Morning, Business hours, Evening or Night). Below the cards you get upcoming public holidays and direct Google Calendar or Outlook scheduling.

Where people use it

• Remote teams

  Slide to the hours when most cards show Business hours, and note who is in the evening or at night.

• Client meetings

  Check the client's local date, time and holidays before proposing a slot.

• Interviews

  Show a candidate their own local time, and never propose the middle of their night.

• Webinars

  Compare the time across your audience's regions before picking a start time.

• Family calls

  Find an evening or weekend slot that is not the small hours for either side.

What it does not do

• It does not pick the best time for you — you decide what is fair.
• It does not read anyone's calendar or availability.
• The slider covers 12 hours either side of now; for later dates use the dated examples below.
• Calendar links create one event at the moment on screen, not a recurring series pinned to a city's local time.

How to use ZoneMeets

1. 1

   Pin the cities. Your device's zone is added automatically. Add more with the search dialog; your cities are remembered in this browser.

2. 2

   Move the clock. Drag the Adjust time slider from −12h to +12h, or click the time on any card and type it. Every card follows.

3. 3

   Read the colours. Find the slider position where the most cards say Business hours (key below).

4. 4

   Check the date and holidays. Each card shows the weekday and date, which differ across the Pacific. The Holidays panel lists national holidays for your pinned cities.

5. 5

   Schedule or share. Enter title, date, start and end time, then add it to Google Calendar or Outlook — or share as text, WhatsApp or email.

Daylight saving: why a meeting's local time can shift

Regions change their clocks on different dates, and many do not change them at all — so the gap between two cities shifts, and a recurring meeting lands at a different local time for one side. A meeting at 9:00 AM in New York on four dates in 2027:

A recurring meeting anchored to New York can shift by one hour for colleagues in cities that do not observe daylight saving. Always check the first occurrence after a clock change, and specify which city’s local time should stay fixed.

How ZoneMeets handles dates and daylight saving

• Each card shows the time and UTC offset that apply to the moment on screen, using the IANA time zone rules built into your browser.
• The converter starts from the current moment; for a later date use the dated examples above or the date field under Schedule a meeting.
• Schedule a meeting dates are read in your device's time zone, not the pinned cities.
• The daylight saving banner covers only your own device's zone, within 7 days of a change.
• Calendar links create one event at the exact moment on screen. It is not recurring and not tied to a city's wall clock, so it stays at that instant even if the city later changes its clocks.

Choosing a fair meeting time

ZoneMeets makes the overlap visible; choosing is yours. A way to make it:

1. Pin every attendee's city and drag the Adjust time slider through the day.
2. Look for positions where the most cards say Business hours. Two or three cities often overlap; four or more usually do not.
3. When nothing overlaps, list two or three least-bad slots and note who is in Morning, Evening or Night for each.
4. Choose the slot that costs the fewest people the most, and say openly who is taking the hard end.
5. Rotate it. Alternate slots on a published pattern so the same city does not always take the late or early call.

If the only slot is 10 PM for someone, a recording and written notes may serve them better. See the fair meeting-rotation template and choosing meeting times for US, Europe and Asia teams.
