Changing the Timezone for Your Event

Written by Benjamin Dell

Your event timezone is the default timezone HeySummit uses when you schedule event dates, talks, and other time-based event content.

Choosing the right timezone helps keep your dashboard, schedule setup, emails, calendar files, and speaker workflows aligned around the event's intended local time.

Update the event timezone

  1. Go to Event Setup > Settings.

  2. Find the Localisation card and select Update.

  3. Choose the event Timezone. You can also set an optional timezone suffix and date/time formats.

  4. Select Save.

On public event pages, HeySummit can display talk times in the visitor's local timezone based on their browser. Some event and email contexts still use the event timezone, so it is important to set the event timezone before finalising your schedule.

If an attendee sees the wrong time in a downloaded calendar file, ask them to check the timezone settings in their calendar app as well. Calendar apps can interpret imported files differently.

Set your default timezone for new events

Your profile timezone is used as the default when you create new events. To update it, open your account menu, choose Profile, select Update, and change Timezone.
