Open Meeting Planner →Hong Kong is a banking city and Chicago a finance and derivatives city; the two economies buy from each other rather than compete. Hong Kong runs 13 hours ahead of Chicago, far enough that the morning in one is already the next day in the other.
Both cities work Monday to Friday, Hong Kong typically 09:00–18:00 and Chicago 08:30–17:30 local time.
There is no hour when both offices are open, only the edges: an early start in Chicago meets a late finish in Hong Kong. Alternate who stretches, and keep those calls short. Only Chicago changes its clocks, so the gap shifts by an hour twice a year while Hong Kong stays put.
Hong Kong is 13 hours ahead of Chicago. The gap changes by an hour around the clock changes.
There is no hour when both offices are open. The closest is early morning in Chicago against the end of the day in Hong Kong; alternate which side takes the awkward slot.
Alternate. A standing call that is always 07:00 for Chicago or always 19:00 for Hong Kong is resented within a month; rotating it keeps both sides in the room.
Not always. At 09:00 in Chicago it is already the next calendar day in Hong Kong, so every invitation should carry the date in both cities.
