The meeting planner highlights the hours that overlap for everyone.
Does daylight saving time change the AEST–WITA difference?
The labels AEST and WITA are fixed offsets, so the result on this page is always exact. One side switches between standard and summer time while the other stays put, so the real-world gap can shift by an hour for part of the year. It's worth checking which label a region is actually using before you lock in a time.
How accurate is this AEST to WITA conversion?
We don’t guess. AEST and WITA times are worked out from the official IANA time zone database, the trusted standard that operating systems use worldwide. Because daylight-saving rules and regional offsets do change over time, we track those updates rather than relying on a fixed number — which is exactly where many converters slip up.

Why might the real-world AEST–WITA difference change during the year?

But Australian Eastern Standard Time's region switches between standard and summer time, so for part of the year you may actually want AEDT to WITA. Always check which label a region is currently using before you schedule.
