Calendar event showing up the wrong timezone

Hi there, I refer to the screenshots below. The user, Pamela, sends out a calendar invite to both Jeff and Kok Guan, specifying the correct timezone UTC +0800. However, what Jeff views this event on his Mac running on Yosemite 10.10.2 is the UTC +0000 timezone, Monrovia, Reykjavik. The time indicated is displayed 6am instead of the actual 2pm, despite showing a notification that the event will commence at 2pm on Jeff's Mac. How do i go about correcting/removing the UTC +0000, Monrovia, Reykjavik, timezone stamp. Appreciate some help with this. Thanks!

Regards

Kenny

Unfortunately, the server update won't fix existing meetings automatically.  However, users MAY be able to fix it themselves if they find the original meeting invitation (could be in Deleted Items) and re-accept the meeting(s) with the "UTC" time zones.  (Let us know if that works.)

If that doesn't work, they will have to ask the organizer to re-send the invitation.  (Organizer just has to open the meeting on his/her calendar and click "Send Update." Make sure to "Edit Series" if it is a recurring meeting.)

    I'm having the same issue. I create a 6 PM event on my iPhone in the Chicago (Central) time zone. In Outlook for Mac 15.9, it shows 11 PM UTC Coordinated Universal Time with a yellow bar that says Event Starts at 6 PM in your computer's time zone (central standard time).

    Just an update from my end:

    The issue has yet been resolved. It happens whenever the user sets up an appointment with an attendee based in a different timezone. This appointment will always reflect (UTC) Monrovia, Reykjavik. Appointments set up in local timezone do not exhibit this issue. To play safe, the user now has to always re-check appointments based in various timezones. Hopefully this get fixed in the upcoming update.

    I'm running 15.9 (150408) on Yosemite 10.10.3.

    I create an event in Outlook Calendar in PDT as George does above. If I open it back up in Outlook, it's still PDT. However, the second I touch the meeting with my iPhone 5s (iOS 8.3 (12F70)), it goes to UTC.

    I've also got Apple Calendar connected to my Office 365 Exchange account and it always shows in the correct time zone.

    This gets really annoying, as I'm on the road a lot, so I frequently accept meetings on my iPhone, which then puts them into UTC.

    Finally, this morning I noticed a meeting I had accepted for sometime next week was showing up in my calendar at the UTC time, not PDT, like normal. I had accepted this one and another invite from the same person (coincidentally, a Microsoft employee) on my iPhone. Why one of them was showing in my calendar at the UTC and the other at PDT, I don't know, but now I'm going to have to look at each appt. I have to make sure it's in the correct timeslot.

    George - Did you create or edit the meeting on a mobile device at any time?
