EventLive automatically adjusts the time shown on the event page to match each viewer’s local time zone. This can sometimes cause confusion if you see a different time than the one you originally set. Here’s how it works and what you can do to make sure your event time is correct.

Invitation emails are different: they show the time in the event’s selected time zone. The points below explain what to check.

- **Event schedule:** choose the date, time and timezone for the event’s location. This sets the same real start moment for everyone.
- **Guest event page:** the displayed event time adjusts to the viewer’s local timezone.
- **Invitation emails:** the event time is written in the event’s selected timezone. Check the timezone shown in the email rather than assuming it is your own local time.

For example, a 4:00 PM Eastern event can appear as 1:00 PM for a viewer in Pacific Time on the event page, while its invitation email still states the Eastern event time.

## Check or correct the schedule

1. Open the event details and check both the time and timezone.
2. If the schedule is wrong and the event is still upcoming, [update the date and time](https://www.eventlive.pro/help/how-to-postpone-change-the-date-of-the-event).
3. When sharing a time separately in a message, include the timezone to avoid confusion.
