Confused - The event posting here says 2pm Eastern which is 1800z no?
The posting on Discord says 4pm which would indeed be 2000z.
Just checked my end. The date and time is correct. For me Sydney Australia time is 6.00am (2000z) on 9th June. So that would be 9pm on the 8th June London time. I believe the Forum Calendar is error prone in determining the time in different zones.
