# timeZone

The time zone for the calendar item.

```
var timeZone: TimeZone? { get set }
```

## Discussion

If `nil`, the calendar item is a floating event. A floating event is not tied to a particular time zone. It occurs at a given time regardless of the time zone — for example, “lunch at noon.” The start and end times of a floating event should be set as if they were in the system time zone.
