Meeting planner: the best time to meet across time zones
The hour that works in every city.
Tokyo & Chicago has its own page, with the year ahead and calling hoursA working day · Tokyo time
9:30–10:30 am Tokyo
6:30–7:30 pm, day before in Chicago
No hour fits everyone’s hours. At the closest fit, Tokyo starts 1½ hours early, and Chicago stays 1½ hours late.
Works Tue–Fri, when everyone is on a working day.
11 am–9 pm hours in Tokyo: change
9 am–6 pm hours in Chicago: change
- Meeting every week?
- Taking turns is fairer: rotate between 8 am and 11 am Tokyo time, a different one each week.

How it works
What counts as a good time?
The whole meeting has to sit inside everyone’s hours on their own clock: a working day, 9 am to 6 pm, unless you choose other hours.
What if there’s no hour that suits everyone?
Then Meridian picks the closest fit and says who has to start early or stay late. For a meeting every week, it says whether taking turns would be fairer.
Does it know about clock changes and weekends?
Yes. Every answer is for today’s clocks, and when weekends differ, as between New York and Tel Aviv, it says which days work.
