 #meta4480 describes how the Events API returns data as a "WP timestamp"
 (Unix timestamp + UTC offset), rather than a true Unix timestamp, which is
 always UTC.

 Because of that, events are displayed in the ''venue's'' timezone, rather
 than the ''user's''. That's usually accurate for in-person events, but
 usually ''inaccurate'' for online events, where attendees can be located
 in any timezone.

 Once the API starts returning a proper Unix timestamp, Core should update
 the widget to display events in the current user's timezone.
