Brother, your event will show incorrect time when user is from different timezone. So we should always set time in UTC.

Hi, in this case it really depends on your Laravel settings. The config/app.php file. If you have there set UTC, the invitation will be in UTC. When I set there Europe/Prague, it has in invitation Europe/Prague. But whatever setting you use, it will include timezone details. So it will work for users with different timezone too.

This is result from the code above. So it has timezones and also info about standard and daylight time.
