Configuring Localisation Settings for the Event

Overview

Localisation Settings helps organisers to control how date, time, and timezone information is displayed across the event website and participant-facing interfaces. By configuring these settings, event organizers ensure event information is presented accurately and consistently for participants in different regions.

Step-by-Step Approach

1. Expand the Localisation section

• Open the Event Dashboard and navigate to Event Settings → Localisation.
• Click the Localisation section header to expand and reveal the configuration options.

2. Search for a specific timezone

• Open the Timezone select field.
• Use the search box or scroll the list to find the desired timezone (for example: Europe/Amsterdam or America/New_York).
• Select the appropriate timezone for the event.

3. Select a specific datetime format

• Open the Datetime format dropdown.
• Select the preferred datetime format (for example: DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm or MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm A).

4. Select a specific date format

• Open the Date format select field.
• Choose the desired date format (for example: DD/MM/YYYY or MMMM D, YYYY).

5. Select a specific time format

• Open the Time format select field.
• Choose the time format you want to use (for example: 24-hour or 12-hour (AM/PM)).

6. Save your changes

• After selecting timezone and formats, click Save or Apply to persist the settings.
• Review key event pages (event website, registration, agenda) to confirm dates and times render as expected.

Tip: Double-check the configured timezone and format with stakeholders — incorrect timezone settings can cause confusion for participants in different regions.
