How Daylight Saving Time Affects International Meetings
DST can quietly break recurring meetings. Learn how to plan around timezone changes.
The common mistake
People often assume a city pair always has the same time difference. That is not always true. Some countries observe daylight saving time, some do not, and some change clocks on different weekends.
A recurring meeting can drift by one hour for one team while staying fixed for another.
How to avoid it
Always check the exact date of a future meeting. For recurring calls, review the next DST change dates for the main cities involved.
