How are Time Zones Intended to be Used

Start Time in Adelaide {{Start Time in TZ:STARTTZ;%e %b %Y, %k:%M;Australia/Adelaide}}

First and foremost Geraint, you are competing against EventBrite and Google Events, not against other Joomla Event Calendar components. If this isn't easy to use, people, at least in my camp, will opt to use online offerings like EventBrite and Google Events, just because it is easy, even though it doesn't satisfy all their needs.

We have events that take place all over the world, and we need people to know what time to tune in, in their timezone and usually they won't have an account on the site.
