# [New feature - New 'time in timezone' function](https://blog.bettyblocks.com/product-changes/new-feature-new-time-in-timezone-function)

We have built a new expression function, called time in timezone. With this new function you can express a given date-time value to a different timezone: time_in_timezone(var:date_time, "UTC" ). The output of this expression returns me the variable 'date_time' in UTC time.

 

New time in timezone function to a date time expression variable

 

You can use this new expression function in a date_time expression variable for example, but you can also use it in your page templates: 

"01-01-2018 00:00" -> Alaska

"01-01-2018 00:00" -> Amsterdam

"01-01-2018 00:00" -> Moscow

"01-01-2018 00:00" -> UTC
