    Time zone on the schedule is set for Guayaquil. Is that correct – first session starts at 8:45AM Ecuador time, 9:45AM eastern time US?

Then @lgaetz (Lorne Gaetz) said

    GMT -5 is Eastern, no?.  
    Just confirmed, kickoff is 08:45 ~~eastern~~ central time.

    Not until next week. Stupid DST.

    How do you get on the Slack workspace? Is it tied to the email address we used to register? Not super familiar

@lgaetz (Lorne Gaetz) replied

    It's a separate sign on, you can use google/apple/fb to get in.

So @adell4444 (adell4444) replied

    Yeah it just tells me that I don't have an account on this workspace

Then @lgaetz (Lorne Gaetz) said

    That's weird, I will escalate. Can you PM me the email you're using? Anyone else having issues?

@lgaetz (Lorne Gaetz) replied

    Found the issue, post #1 updated with slack sign up link.

@lgaetz (Lorne Gaetz) replied

    Post #1 updated again with new agenda link. The times are Central Time zone and not Eastern as I shared yesterday. Apologies for the confusion.
    
    Events start in about 15 min.
