Finding Meeting Times for Global Remote Teams

Overlap hours for common US-international pairings: US East Coast and Europe: 9am-12pm EST overlaps with 3pm-6pm CET — best window. US West Coast and Europe: nearly impossible overlap — early morning or late afternoon for one side required. US East and Asia-Pacific: 7am-9am EST = 8pm-10pm Singapore or Tokyo — end of APAC day. Global teams: accept that someone always has an inconvenient meeting — rotate the inconvenience fairly rather than always burdening one region.
