Eastern Standard Time (EST) is 1 hour ahead of Central Standard Time (CST). For example, when it is noon EST, it will be 11:00 AM CST on the same day.
For effective scheduling, aim for meeting times between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM EST, corresponding to 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM CST. This ensures that both parties are likely available during working hours.
During Daylight Saving Time, Eastern Standard Time (EST) changes to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), which is UTC-4:00. This shift reduces the time difference with CST to just one hour during that period.
