How to submit your meet-up start and end time

[UPDATE] We’ve introduced a new tool on the meet-up site that will make the process of selecting your start and end time even easier. When submitting your meet-up, click the clock icon and select your start/end time and AM or PM. Then you’re all set!

When you submit a meet-up, you are asked to include the start and end time. Depending on your browser, you will either need to submit this as an AM or PM time, or as a 24 hour time. If you’re using Chrome, please use AM or PM. If your’e using Safari, Firefox or another browser, please user 24 hour time. If you don’t use the correct time format, it will tell show you an error message that says, “This field is required”.

@iyudhi This is a tricky one as there are a few different scenarios. In most cases, it’s best to cancel the meet-up and submit a new one. I’ll explain why this is the best option:

  • If your meet-up is pending (we haven’t approved or rejected), it’s best to cancel your meet-up and submit a new one with your changes.
  • If your meet-up has been approved, but no one has RSVP’d yet, then I would also suggest canceling the meet-up and submitting a new one with the changes.
  • If your meet-up has been approved and Local Guides have RSVP’d, then it depends on what you want to change. If you’re changing important things like the date, time, or location, then I would advise canceling the meet-up and submitting a new one. This is because when someone RSVPs, they receive a confirmation email with the date, time and location listed. They also receive a reminder email two days before the meet-up. If these two emails show different information (which would happen if you changed date, time or location), then it’s not a great experience for the user. Note that when you cancel a meet-up you’ll be asked why, and we will contact anyone who has RSVP’d to explain that it’s been canceled. If you want to change something minor, then it’s best to update attendees on the Local Guides Connect post that gets created when your meet-up is approved.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the info…

Does it adjusts the local time itself everywhere @HelloJess ? In case of LG Summit 2017 application, it was already April 3 here but application was not opened for us. Similar will happen at closing too i.e. we will able to submit application some hours after crossing the deadline. Its because our local time is 12:45 hour ahead than San Francisco time.

@BishowvijayaP This post is just about selecting a time for a meet-up. It’s not related to timings for summit applications or other initiatives.

@HelloJess thanks for sharing this :slight_smile:

I was also talking about meet-up time @HelloJess . Subject of summit application was used as an example to make the question clear.

I meant to ask about selecting a time based on local time zone.

@BishowvijayaP Thanks for clarifying. For meet-ups, the start and end time are based on the time zone where the meet-up is taking place. If you’re in a different time zone, you will see the start/end time as it would be where the meet-up is taking place. For example, if I’m in London but viewing a meet-up that is taking place in NYC at 10 am EST, then I will see that the meet-up is taking place at 10 am EST (not 3 pm GMT). Does that help?
