You've probably already figured this out, and it's been a while since I've taken my iPhone across time zones where I've had to worry about calendar events, but here's what I think you need to do.

If an event is scheduled for 8AM Pacific or 10AM Central, and you're currently in the Central time zone then schedule the event for 10AM. Once you show up in the Pacific time zone, your phone should reset itself and the appointment should be scheduled at 8AM local time.

Note I usually schedule events in Google Calendar or subscribe to a conferences ical calendar, but I always check to see if the time zones have sorted themselves out when I get to the event.

No. All you need to do is make sure your phone time indicates the current local 
time on the day in question. So, if it's 6pm local time and your phone tells 
you it is 6pm phone time, you're good to  go. Your phone will pull the local 
time from the cell tower, I believe.

Thanks. I saw a reference to automatic time zone updating in the time/date 
settings. Would it make a difference if this was turned on?
Would it adversely affect my appointments?

Schedule the appointment for 8 am if it's an 8am appointment. Your
phone's time will adjust to the local time when you're on the ground,
and it will see the 8 am scheduled 8 am appointment at the local time, 8 am.

Subject: Scheduling events in multiple time zones

Greetings all. I will be going to the CSUN conference in March. I want
to schedule some of the sessions and other events in either the native
calendar or Fantastical 2 but I have some questions about the multiple
time zones. I live in Central time but the events of course would be
in Pacific. How would I do this? Do I need to schedule in PST
specifically when making the appointment, or do I schedule in Central
and let the iPhone's clock adjust the time zones? As of yet I haven't
run into this issue before with the calendar, and don't want an
appointment that I set for an 8am start to actually occur at 6am when
I'm in California. Using an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.3.

Thanks all,
Wayne Merritt
