Need a way to set a static date/time value in a column

We run conference events and manage our sessions in Monday boards. Our team and our events are run all over the world, but we need to have a single common understanding of the event sessions’ start date and time, and this needs to look the same for anyone viewing the board in any timezone.

I could see this being managed a few ways:

  • By adding a setting to the existing date/time column type that says if it’s “static” - as in, whatever date/time I put in should be the same numbers that someone will see in another timezone
  • By creating a new kind of “static” date/time column that does the same as above
  • Allow us to set a timezone for the board that would effectively keep all the times static for everyone (instead of the board reading a user’s location/timezone, it uses the timezone set at the board level.

(And while yes, I know we could add the datetime as a text field, we very much rely on the datetime formatting and sorting and calendar features of that information being in that format, and we do not want to move to a text format.)
