Yes, teams spread across multiple time zones.
A single event will probably not spread across multiple time zones, even by the same team.. (i.e. a team has a global jam event in one city, and another one in another city that are two different time zones, it is also two different events.
Yes, the organizer should specify the time zone (but this should actually be done by venue, just like the location and the languages can be set for a team, the time zone should be set for a venue.. a venues time zone is not going to change.)

Time of events is shown in UTC, not local time

Status in LoCo Directory: Confirmed

Bug description:
The events page of the loco directory shows times in UTC (i.e. +0000 timezone), example: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/202/detail/ It should instead show times in local time for each loco. Many people coming to events are going to be coming from the local area, and will all be in the same timezone, so there is no need to include the timezone information. Secondly, timezones are confusing for many people, and showing event start times in UTC as opposed to local time forced people to do mental arithmetic when they see an event page. There is very little benefit from showing all times in UTC, and many drawbacks. Local time (for the LoCo) has more benefits and less drawbacks.
