The PCI Council has announced the schedule for this Fall’s Global Community Meeting and it will be a killer.
Tuesday, October 26, will be held on Central European Standard Time (UTC+2) and starts at 9AM. For all of us in the Continental United States, that means it will start anywhere between Midnight Tuesday to 3AM. For those in Asia, that will fall from lunchtime to early evening. The “day” will end in the US at 11AM Eastern, 8AM Pacific.
Wednesday, October 27, is on Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) and again starts at 9AM. For those in Europe, that will be around Noon to 2PM. But for those of us in the Continental United States, we will still be on Tuesday and will start at 8PM Eastern, 5PM Pacific. The “day” will end in the US at 3AM Eastern, Midnight Pacific. A very long day for a lot of us in the US.
The final day, Thursday, will be held on Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+4) and will start at 9AM. So we get almost a day and a half before the final sessions. For people in Europe, this “day” will start at 3PM and end around 10PM. For those in Asia, the “day” will start mid to late evening on Thursday and not finish until early Friday morning.
This will be a very interesting Community Meeting. I look forward to “seeing” you all there.
Enjoy the sleep deprivation. 😉

I’m looking at the agenda for each day and other than the regional keynote I see no differences. Is this simply a one-day conference repeated for local timezones?
They claimed on the latest All Assessor call that it is different each day, but we shall see.
