Open Meeting Planner →Beijing's government and technology and Nairobi's fintech and development agencies are different worlds, which is exactly why they call each other. Put simply, when it is 09:00 in Nairobi it is already 5 hours later in Beijing.
The working week is Monday to Friday on both sides: roughly 09:00–18:00 in Beijing and 08:00–17:00 in Nairobi. On the Beijing side the dates that break a schedule are Chinese New Year (seven days in January or February) and National Day Golden Week (1–7 October); on the Nairobi side, Madaraka Day (1 June) and Mashujaa Day (20 October).
The comfortable window is 14:00–17:00 Beijing time, which is 09:00–12:00 in Nairobi — 3 shared office hours, enough that nobody has to stretch. Neither city observes daylight saving, so the gap holds all year.
