Which is why the location of every event is important, the housekeeping going 
forward has to take care of the change of time of an event. If this is an 
international event in Casablanca then all of the other delegates need to be 
informed of the time change THAT is the reason for normalized times. If it is 
now an hour earlier or later flight bookings may need changing! Information 
about the CHANGE is critical for a number of reasons.
