I just saw the Fall release notes and noticed that one of the most popular feature requests is finally happening:

This is especially significant for those of us who operate globally (or even across the US, given the multiple time zones).  Today, we're forced to build complex engagement programs in each country workspace - primarily due to time zone differences.  With this feature enabled, we'll now be able to create global engagement programs (while leveraging personalization/segmentation to apply any localization if necessary (translated content, etc.).  [EDIT: this isn't as significant of an enhancement as we thought, since it will only be active in Email Send programs and Engagement Programs with individual emails (not child/default programs that contain basic "email send" smart campaigns)]

Question for the product team: when will this be deployed in everyone's instance?  Is it on a specific date or gradually during a specific timeframe?

Josh Hill, that's awesome! Christina Zuniga, as of now, I don't believe we have anything set up for point levels on Community, but I think that's a great idea and we'll look into it! Thank you both for being amazing Marketo advocates!

I cant wait for this feature.

Will cut the need for wait steps and scrambling around www.timeanddate.com trying to work out time zones.
