Most events start at 5:00pm Sydney time, which is around 7:00pm in Auckland and 3:00pm in Singapore and Perth — Western Australia shares Singapore's timezone year-round, since neither observes daylight saving. Note that the Sydney–Auckland gap can occasionally shift by an hour for a week or two each spring and autumn, since Australia and New Zealand don't switch their clocks on quite the same date. Eventbrite will automatically display the time in your own local timezone when you book.
All events are streamed on Zoom. You'll receive the link by email when you book. No special equipment is needed — just a stable internet connection.
Yes — recordings are made available to all ticket holders after the event, so you can watch at a time that suits you.
