Is there a place to watch the videos in the past? The scheduling platform did not adjust for my timezone and I missed the entire morning.

Jeff Gallimore (CTIO - Excella)15:10:24

@ann.kahraman all the videos will be available in the library. all breakout talks are there now. plenary talks (like from this morning) will be available after they air. http://videos.itrevolution.com/

@ann.kahraman What do you mean it’s all two hours off?

All the times in the platform are in Central Timezone and that’s not made clear anywhere

I’ve attended 3 conferences in the last 2 weeks and its been clear o their platforms which timezone it’s presented

I’m sorry it caused you to miss sessions you wanted to see. Did you find the place to change the timezone for Sched for days 2 and 3? There’s a toggle on the right side.

Ann Kahraman21:10:12

Yes, I saw it after I realized I missed the whole morning sessions.

Based on the sessions I have attended thus far I believe the audience may be interested in this upcoming webinar: http://aka.ms/DevSecOpsWebinar coming up on October 14th.

Gene Kim, ITREV, Program Chair19:10:40

Hi, @vwong — yes, this is because the descriptions come straight from Sched. If talks go a little early or late, it may lead to a minute or two of inaccurate info. Let us know if the inaccuracy goes longer than that! Thx! cc @alex

Use other profile19:10:38

This is more, actually. Because you’re a day ahead now, it’s showing Day 2 sched info. @vwong If you want to override his time zone, it’s in Dev Tools’ menu (three dots) then More Tools > Sensors. Then he can put in North America/Chicago (or whatever he wants) in the Time Zone ID field. https://dev.to/aileenr/how-to-spoof-your-timezone-in-google-chrome-48ch
