Why people convert Amsterdam to MDT time

Scheduling a call from Amsterdam to MDT: a 10:00 AM start in Amsterdam lands at 2:00 AM in MDT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a -8h gap: Amsterdam and MDT have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in MDT is 1:00 AM in Amsterdam.
Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in Amsterdam is 12:00 PM in MDT makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM CEST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -8h gap is not.
With a -8h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Amsterdam takes the early slot, the next week MDT does.
