You can choose the secondary time zone from the list or you can also choose the Default time zone to be the secondary time zone and change your primary time zone later and click Done.
Event time zone
You can choose the time zone for each event you create if the event is being held in a different location or the team attending the event is in a different location. The event will be created and displayed in the calendar grid based on your primary time zone.
To pick the time zone for an event, click New event button on the left menu. Provide the event title and pick the date and time of the event. Click on the Time zone, provided next to the date and time field.
Choose the time zone from the list and click Done. Provide other details for the event and click Save.
If you wish to view the time of the event in your primary time zone and the time zone you picked for the event, click on Show Original time zone in the quick view pop-up. To view an event click on the Event title displayed in the calendar grid.
