1. A computer-implemented method for visually indicating a calendared event, comprising:
- displaying, by a user interface element, a plurality of time tables, respectively, for a plurality of event participants associated with the calendared event;
displaying, associated with a time table for a first of the event participants, a first time difference indicator;
displaying, by the user interface element, associated with a time table for a second of the event participants, a second time difference indicator;
displaying, by the user interface element, associated with the first time difference indicator and the second time difference indicator, an association indicator; and
for each of the event participants, identifying a local time block, of the event participant, that corresponds to a proposed time block for the calendared event,wherein the first time difference indicator indicates a time difference between the local time block of the first event participant and an event time reference,wherein the second time difference indicator indicates a time difference between the local time block of the second event participant and the event time reference,wherein the association indicator visually stretchable to associate the first time difference indicator to the second time difference indicator, andwherein the event time reference is a time of the calendared event in a time zone of a predetermined entity.

Abstract
A calendared event may be visually indicated. A proposed time for the calendared event can be identified and each of a plurality of event participants can be associated with the calendared event. For each of the participants, a local time of the participant that corresponds to the proposed time for the calendared event can be identified and displayed.
