RetouchPRO LIVE days and times

[Doug Nelson]

What day of the week and time of day would be best for you to attend a future RetouchPRO LIVE event? Keep in mind they'll be at least 2 hours long.

Please specify your time zone.

Obviously I can't schedule events for every ideal time, but I'm hoping to find a couple of sweet spots for both western and eastern hemisphere viewers.

Doug, preferably on weekends..friday and saturday would be good, even if late there will be no alarm clock in the morning calling to work. Timezone is MEZ (Middle European Time)

[Ubi]

between 6pm-10pm CEST time zone, which makes it morning-early afternoon in North America depending on where you live. At least everyone is awake then. If it's held on an evening in North America, Europe is asleep, like this event of Chris.

Weekdays or weekends. Both are okay. Maybe Fridays?

[Doug Nelson]

This is good information, thanks.

I'd appreciate it if everyone would add their own preferences to this list.

And please also see the thread asking for presenter suggestions.

[davecam]

18:00 - 21:00pm GMT for us English please!

[ekuna]

10:00 - 12:00 pm Eastern would be the best for me.

[ashphotoart]

only 1 hour before, 8:00 PM EST good to me.

What about days of the week? Is one better (or worse) than the others?

[Droolio]

Well I think Friday is a generally good day for most, especially during evenings since most people have that time slot freed-up from important things. My timezone is the eastern American one and the time you pick for the first event is perfect. Can't really speak for the folks in Europe though.

[Steve uk]

Friday or Saturday evenings, 9pm to midnight UK time - 4pm to 7pm Eastern. I've signed up for tomorrow nights bash, it's going to be a late one!!!

[ashphotoart]

Friday is good.

[Macint0sh]

(I'm in GMT+1)

Monday-Thursday best days. Any time, really. Always up.

[skydog]

weekends...sat mornings 8 to 12 est.

[Cyberek]

Weekends (fridays, saturdays, sundays)

Between 3.00 PM and 5.00 PM Yours time (In Central Europe its between 9.00pm and 11.00 PM).

Watching this kind of stuff at 3.00 AM is hard (that Was the timing for us, Europeans) .

[CaptainHook]

This one was perfect timing for me.

[HuBBa]

Im in that pesky Euro-zone aswell. Maybe what could be done is that if the live event is in one timezone that say the Euros cant attend, it could be recorded and then be made availible for all who paid the entrance fee?

Sure it wouldn't be live then but you would at least not miss out on the information shared. And also, maybe there will be a euro event which the US cant attend live so it will evening out in the end.

[dkcoats]

This one worked fine for me. Friday would be okay; Saturday not so much.

[janterr]

I'm guessing GMT +10 or +11 ESDST suits very few people

[roddog]

The weekend 10 am pst(pdt) time slot works great for me, no later than 2 pm if possible. Weekdays are never an option unless you are talking 8 pm pst(pdt). I agree with the majority of those commenting that a couple of days notice prior to the event is far too short. I need at least a week to schedule a 2 hr time block on the weekends.

[dotshots]

This webinar is great timing for me
London 6pm - 8pm - saturday night

many thanks

Fantastic that you guys are broadcasting these sessions... however is there no way to make recordings of them available on demand eg as a podcast or similar? Have yet to manage to fit one into my rather erratic schedule...

[ShogunSho]

Hello Doug,

First of all thank you very much for providing such a fantastic opportunity for everyone to learn over here.

I'm actually on a GMT +7 zone (in Asia). So far the time slot is sometime fine sometime difficult. Like what everybody else have stated, Friday night and weekends are ideal. The best ideal time for me would be from 10-12pm CDT or 4-6pm BST on any days of the week actually.

Meanwhile, I used to live in Australia ,got many friends there, and lots of them are infact interested with the Retouch Pro LIVE while several of them gave up because of the showing time.


I think you should consider the time slot for Eastern Hemisphere as well particularly Australia as it would be easy for Asian countries also once it is convenient time for Australia.

[derienzo777]

12p Central time on Saturdays has been perfect 2 weeks in a row. Keep it up!

[Nanls]

12 noon Pacific on Saturday would work for me. Weekdays is better 6-8 pm.
Thanks for asking.

[skydog]

Any time on the weekend...afternoons EST is terrible during the week

[startup_eng1]

6-8pm weekdays and anytime on weekends

[markc78]

Mon-Fri 6-9pm GMT , SAT/SUN 12pm-11pm (those 12-2am slots are not ideal for uk) , prefer weekend airings , THX

[brianclark4]

Monday or Wednesday evenings GMT time would be OK for me.

[thelamb]

I'm from the UK but currently based out in Asia (Taipei). The current times for the LIVE shows is 3am-5am. Probably the most unfriendly time of all. It's either way too late or way too early.

Times that are more asian friendly would be great.
For the record i'd quite happily subscribe or pay to watch at other times.
