Event Time Zone

Each event must be assigned an Event Time Zone.

How to set your Event Time Zone

Navigate to Event > Settings > Scroll down to Dates > Click the blue Edit button.

To change your Event Time Zone, you must first choose the Event Country. Once you have chosen the Country in which the Time Zone resides, you may then choose the Event Time Zone from the dropdown menu.

Click Save.

How Time Zone affects your event

The time zone will affect how some dates are seen by website users. Some will shift, others are fixed. Calculations across time zones will account for any daylight savings which may be in effect.

Dates which shift:

• Product Availability Dates
• Exhibitor Task due date
• Voucher expiry date
• Date based discount
• Transaction Date
• News Article date
• Countdown Timer

Event site visitors will view these dates based on the time zone they are currently in.

For example, using the Visitors from the above image:

Lets say the current date is: Wed 4 October 2027

If a Product closes on Monday 6 Nov 2027 at 09:00 for an event in London (GMT).

• Visitor 1: close date = Monday 6 Nov 2027 04:00:00 (4am)
• Visitor 2:  close date = Monday 6 Nov 2027 09:00:00 (9am)
• Visitor 3:  close date = Monday 6 Nov 2027 20:00:00 (8pm)

This logic applies to all date types list to the left.

Dates which do not shift:

• Event Date
• Agenda
• Agenda Item
• Multi-part Schedule

Schedule dates and times are fixed in the event time zone.

So, all viewers regardless of their position in the world will see the same event agenda.

In our example, in the schedule, the event start will be listed as:

09:00 Monday 6 November 2027 for all viewers
