Best practices for international meetings
Anchor on the busiest time zone
Pick the city with the most participants and centre the meeting in its working day. Everyone else flexes around it.
Avoid back-to-back fringe hours
Recurring 7am or 9pm slots burn people out. Rotate the inconvenient hour between regions for fairness.
Mind daylight saving transitions
Spring and autumn shifts can move meetings by an hour. The planner is DST-aware so the slot stays accurate.
Always send a UTC reference
Include a UTC timestamp in invites. It removes ambiguity for travellers and asynchronous teammates.
