The Phoenix-Paris time difference varies throughout the year. Phoenix (Arizona) does not observe daylight saving time, while Paris does. This creates a unique situation.
During European summer time (late March to late October), Phoenix is 9 hours behind Paris. During European winter time, Phoenix is only 8 hours behind. When it's 5:00 PM in Paris, it's 8:00 AM or 9:00 AM in Phoenix depending on the season.
Optimal meeting window: 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM Phoenix time (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM or 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM Paris depending on season). Early morning Phoenix catches afternoon Paris.
Phoenix's tech and semiconductor industry maintains connections with French technology companies.
