Scheduling between Chicago and Berlin
Chicago runs on CST/CDT and Berlin on CET/CEST. Berlin is currently 7 hours ahead of Chicago, but that gap is not fixed: the two regions switch to and from daylight saving time on different dates, so for a few weeks each spring and autumn the difference changes by an hour. A meeting series booked at a fixed local time in one city will drift in the other.
The calculator above recomputes the overlap for the exact date you pick using the IANA timezone database, so the slots it suggests are correct on that day rather than on an average day. Every suggestion stays between 05:00 and 23:00 in both cities, and you can add up to eight more participants if the meeting is bigger than Chicago–Berlin.
