Why people convert Brussels to PDT time

Scheduling a call from Brussels to PDT: a 10:00 AM start in Brussels lands at 1:00 AM in PDT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a -9h gap: Brussels and PDT 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 PDT is 12:00 AM in Brussels.
Watching a live event or market open: Brussels viewers need 12:00 AM in PDT to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 9:00 AM if the event is anchored to Brussels.

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 Brussels takes the early slot, the next week PDT does.
Brussels: Clocks fall back on Sun, Oct 25, 2026. Re-check this page after that date because the offset changes and so does the -9h gap.
