The solution is to make the calendar aware of all the time zones relevant to an event (e.g. the organizer’s time and the presenter’s time), so it is able to display all the times and warn when timezone changes might be relevant. (Each attendee may have a different time too, but those times do not need to be recorded in the event but can be handled locally on each attendee’s devices.)

There is the extra problem that the standard explanatory names for timezones that appear in the CLDR are very confusing, eg British time is referred to as GMT even though that is wrong for more than half the year in the summer.
