I hope everyone in the IETF is familiar with sites such as:
<http://www.timeanddate.com/>
<http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/>

I don’t know about “only UTC" for events that are also visited locally,
but giving the UTC time as well would be a good idea.  Even more so for a
event that is days from a local time zone change.

Beyond UTC, I would normally point to

      http://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/agenda-utc

This was something I suggested a couple of IETFs ago, and the tools team
implemented it very quickly.

I think if you have constructive suggestions that can be implemented, the
tools team is all ears :)
