Leveraging Online Technologies for Online Events
Timezones...
Geez. One of the things we're trying to address is the time differences around the world. Having sessions available at three different times during the day helps, but displaying the schedule in a way that makes sense is tough.
In the first conference, we just listed times in Pacific time - but this was confusing for a lot of people as they tried to make the conversion. We consider Eastern Standard for this one, but we're going with a new system that shows the times for you - in your timezone - automatically. We're hoping it helps, but it also gets really interesting when session schedules end up spanning a calendar day because of your local timezone.
