Why people convert Anchorage to ICT time
- Scheduling a call from Anchorage to ICT: a 10:00 AM start in Anchorage lands at 1:00 AM in ICT the next day, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Handling a +15h gap: Anchorage and ICT 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 ICT is 12:00 AM in Anchorage.
- Coordinating a Anchorage-based team with ICT contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM AKDT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +15h gap is not.
- With a +15h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Anchorage takes the early slot, the next week ICT does.
- Anchorage: Clocks fall back on Sun, Nov 1, 2026. Re-check this page after that date because the offset changes and so does the +15h gap.
