Best meeting times between New York and Chicago

Scheduling between New York and Chicago

New York runs on EST/EDT and Chicago on CST/CDT. Chicago is currently 1 hour behind New York, 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 New York–Chicago.
