Timezones
Your current timezone: . (Note: the paper browser uses your computer's system timezone.)
You can have the conference display the time in your timezone (mostly useful for virtual attendees). We highly recommend picking a timezone based on a nearby city, especially if your area observes daylight savings time. Timezones are political and complex and thus confusing. Please check your timezone, and preferably choose a zone based on a city. The conference is in the America/Vancouver timezone.
In previous conferences some attendees have noticed that the times shown on the virtual website appeared incorrect. The problem was that they chose a timezone that did not adjust for daylight savings time.
