Regional time zones
Choose the regional time zone that best fits into your schedule. Please note that UTC time is always the time of reference in relation to local Daylight Savings Time (DST) adjustments.
And remember to check the timing of the sessions in a time zone adjacent to yours. You might find that, for example, if you live in London, the timing of a session scheduled for the Asia region might be suitable timing for you. Please note that these timings may be subject to change.
