9pm PST is 12:00 am EST the next day
9pm PDT is 12:00 am EDT in Eastern Time, on the next day. That answer holds on every day of the year, because these two zones never drift apart.
What time is 9pm PST in EST?
It is 12:00 am. Eastern is 3 hours ahead of Pacific, so you add 3 hours to 9:00 pm and the result lands on the next day. 9pm is late evening in Pacific, the wind-down before midnight, while 12:00 am is midnight in Eastern, the moment the date rolls over.
By the time it is 9pm in Pacific, 87.5% of that calendar day has gone. In Eastern the same instant is 0.0% through the next day, which is the clearest way to see what the 3 hours gap actually does.
9pm PST to EST in the hours either side
The four hours before and after 9pm, in case the meeting moves. Note that the calendar date does not stay put across this window: it changes partway through, which is exactly where scheduling mistakes come from.

Is 9pm PST a good time to call EST?
No. 12:00 am in Eastern is midnight, the moment the date rolls over. Nobody is taking that call. The zones are 3 hours apart, so the nearest sensible slot is a different hour entirely.
Does daylight saving change 9pm PST to EST?
Not for this conversion. Sampled at 9pm on every day of 2026, the gap between these two zones comes out the same every single time, so 9pm PST is 12:00 am EST in January and in July alike.
Pacific Time is currently on PDT and changes next on Sunday, November 1, 2026, when the clock falls back from 1:59 am to 1:00 am and the offset moves from UTC-7 to UTC-8.
Eastern Time is currently on EDT and changes next on Sunday, November 1, 2026, when the clock falls back from 1:59 am to 1:00 am and the offset moves from UTC-4 to UTC-5.
9pm EST to PST, the other way round
Running the question the other way is a different conversion, not a mirror image, because the two zones can be in different daylight saving states on the same date. 9pm EST is 6:00 pm PST, which is a different reading from the answer above, because the two directions are separate questions. One wrinkle worth knowing: PST and PDT are two names for the same zone, not two zones. Pacific Time reads PST in winter and PDT in summer. When somebody types "pst to est" they nearly always mean the zone rather than the literal winter offset, so this page resolves PST to America/Los_Angeles and EST to America/New_York and applies whichever offset is genuinely in force on the day.
