When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Belo Horizonte and Shanghai don't overlap on the same weekday. Shanghai is 11 hours ahead of Belo Horizonte.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 7 AM–9 AM in Belo Horizonte (6 PM–8 PM in Shanghai) — suggest 8:00 AM Belo Horizonte (7:00 PM Shanghai).
This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.
Public holidays in 2026
National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
