Meeting planner: the best time to meet across time zones
The hour that works in every city.
US, UK & Japan has its own page, with how the gaps change through the yearA working day · Central US time
7–8 am Central US
1–2 pm in London · 10–11 pm in Japan
No hour fits everyone’s 9 am to 6 pm. At the closest fit, Central US starts 2 hours early, and Japan stays 5 hours late.
9 am–6 pm hours in Central US: change
9 am–6 pm hours in London: change
9 am–6 pm hours in Japan: change
- Meeting every week?
- Taking turns is fairer: rotate between 6 am and 4 pm Central US 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.
