Timezone & Timestamps

Setting the site timezone

To ensure that dates and times are rendered correctly, the site's timezone should set to conference location's timezone. You can set the timezone in the _config.yml file.

Creating timestamps

When creating timestamps for posts and events, avoid common pitfalls by adhering to these practices:

1. Use the full date, not just the time. This will ensure that DST is properly adjusted.
2. Use the conference's timezone, not your local timezone.
3. Don't convert to GMT.
