- What is the best time for a meeting across US and European time zones?
- Generally, late morning Eastern Time (10-11 AM ET) works well, as it falls in the afternoon for most of Europe (3-5 PM) while still being reasonable for US West Coast participants (7-8 AM PT).
- How do I handle daylight saving time changes for recurring meetings?
- Use calendar tools that automatically adjust for DST transitions. Be aware that the US and Europe change clocks on different dates, creating a few weeks each year where your usual meeting time shifts by an hour.
- Should I schedule meetings in UTC?
- Communicating times in UTC can reduce confusion for international teams. However, most people think in their local time, so it helps to include local times for all participants alongside the UTC reference.
