Organisers: Please consider using UTC timezone

<< < (6/6)

Queu Fox P.:
An idea I've been proposing lately, instead of a converter, is to use a countdown in the main thread of the event, like this:

http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/fullscreen.html?mode=m&iso=20140906T22&year=2014&month=9&day=6&hour=22&min=0&sec=0&p0=341&msg=Dummy%20Countdow

The conversion problem is not present, since the countdown is set by the organizers in whatever timezone they prefer.

A countdown is even more universal than agreeing on using this or that timezone, something that starts in 3 hours will start in the same moment no matter where you are.
