Customizing Event Timezones for Global Users in Your Application

I have a global user base, my users are in several different countries and in different timezones. Can I change the timezone of the events for ever user. So that in users page I see the timestamps against every event in the respective timezone of the user

Short answer: No—Mixpanel uses a single project timezone for how event times are displayed in the UI. You can change the project timezone in settings, but that changes the display for everyone, not per user. Event data are stored in UTC, and the UI renders times in your chosen project timezone. [Manage timezones].Workarounds: - Keep data in UTC (default) and use that consistently; you can still send your own date properties (e.g., “User Local Time”) if you compute them client-side in the user’s timezone, but these won’t change the UI’s event timestamp column. [Manage timezones]. - If exporting to a warehouse (e.g., Snowflake), you can convert UTC event times to each user’s timezone in SQL for custom views. [Snowflake queries].
