  • 1.  Listing Time Zone in Sessions

    Posted 03-31-2020 08:15
    Hi All! I am working on a Classic Event registration page. I was asked if a time zone can be added to my session so that our customers can see the time zone when they choose the session they want to attend. Is this an option? I know when you create the session on the backend, you can see the time zone. Thanks in advance!

    Hi Jamie,

    I was investigating the same thing yesterday, as I've setup a container event with virtual sessions at different dates and times. I spoke with CVENT support and we didn't come up with an ideal solution for me. They suggested putting the timezone in the "code" box when setting up a session, then you can go into your registration setting --> choose a path --> item selection --> switch on display item code. It didn't look so great to me when I tested though. It did pull through though on the {[C-MY AGENDA:AYY]} data tag I am using in my confirmation emails though.

    I ended up just placing text on my registration pages for session and optional items something like the following as I was running out of time. Please note, all times listed below are Eastern Daylight Timezone.

    Let me know if you come across another solution that works for you.

    Best,
    Evan

    Hi Jamie,

    The Time Zone is posted on the event information page. Click into your event hover over event details and click on event information. The second section titled "when" has you select your time zone prior to selecting the start and end times.

    Best of luck!
