You can change your time zone and create events with certain time zones. This helps if you'll be traveling when the event happens, or if you're creating events for people in different time zones.
You can change your time zone and create events in certain time zones. No matter where you create an event, everyone will see it in their own time zone. This can help with travel plans or make it easy to create events for people around the world.
Tasks adapt to the new time zone if the Calendar’s time zone is changed after a task is created. For example, a 9 AM MT task changes to an 11 AM ET task if you travel from Denver to New York.

Daylight saving time
Important:
- Events in the past years or future might not reflect daylight saving time changes. It might be incorrectly displayed.
- As the date changes within a few years, the displayed time automatically adjusts.
Google Calendar uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to help avoid issues with daylight saving time.
When events are created, they're converted into UTC, but you'll always see them in your local time.
If an area switches their time zone, events created before we knew about the change might be in the wrong time zone.
