Why people convert Warsaw to Vancouver time

Scheduling a call from Warsaw to Vancouver: a 10:00 AM start in Warsaw lands at 1:00 AM in Vancouver, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a -9h gap: Warsaw and Vancouver 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 Vancouver is 12:00 AM in Warsaw.
Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in Warsaw is 11:00 AM in Vancouver 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 -9h gap is not.
With a -9h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Warsaw takes the early slot, the next week Vancouver does.
