Brasília is 3 hours ahead of Chicago

Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM in Chicago is 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Brasília.

Keep meetings inside 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM in Chicago — that maps to 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Brasília. With 7 hours of daily overlap, these two cities are an easy pairing; almost any reasonable hour works. Finally, Chicago observes daylight saving and Brasília doesn't, so this window shifts by an hour for part of the year — recheck it each spring and autumn.
