Add the cities of your international participants. See the work-hour overlap. Find the optimal Paris time to schedule a hybrid meeting or live broadcast.
For Paris-hosted hybrid events with international audiences, the time-zone overlap defines what time the broadcast must start. New York can take 14:00 Paris (08:00 NYC). Tokyo can take 09:00 Paris (17:00 Tokyo). The intersection — and the format you need to handle the participants who fall outside it — is the most under-thought part of hybrid event planning.
Green cells mean the city is within 09:00–18:00 local: full attention, decision-grade time. Yellow means fringe hours (very early or evening): acceptable for short broadcasts, problematic for content-heavy sessions. Grey means outside working hours — these participants will either join async or skip live.
Europe-only briefs (London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Rome): the entire workday overlaps. Schedule anytime 10:00–17:00 CET for a complete green column.
Transatlantic briefs (Paris + East Coast US): the optimal Paris time is 14:00–17:00 CET, which lands 08:00–11:00 EST. West Coast joins fringe (05:00–08:00 PST).
EMEA + Asia briefs (Paris + Singapore/Tokyo): the optimal Paris time is 09:00–11:00 CET, which lands 16:00–18:00 SGT and 17:00–19:00 JST. The Americas join fringe (very early) or async.
If you have all three continents simultaneously, choose Paris 14:00 CET. It lands 08:00 EST (workable for US East), 13:00 GMT (workable for London), 18:00 IST (fringe for India), 20:00 SGT (out for Singapore), 21:00 JST (out for Tokyo). Then schedule a Tokyo-friendly replay slot at Paris 09:00 the next day for Asia.
Paris 14:00-17:00 CET, which lands 08:00-11:00 EST. This optimises for the East Coast workday while keeping European participants in core working hours. West Coast joins fringe (05:00-08:00 PST) and may prefer asynchronous viewing.
Paris 09:00-11:00 CET, which lands 16:00-18:00 SGT and 17:00-19:00 JST. This catches Asia at end-of-workday while Paris is at start. The Americas will join fringe (very early) or asynchronous — schedule a separate replay slot for them.
Paris 14:00 CET is the best compromise — 08:00 EST (workable for US East), 13:00 GMT (workable for London), 18:00 IST (fringe for India), 20:00 SGT (out for Singapore), 21:00 JST (out for Tokyo). Then schedule a Tokyo-friendly replay at Paris 09:00 the next day.
