Cause

All day events are specific to the time zone from which they are created. Therefore, depending on a viewer’s time zone, the event may show up as spanning over two days.

For example, an all-day event created for Nov 14th in GMT zone shows up as spanning over Nov 13th and Nov 14th in SAP Jam Calendar for a user in time zones behind GMT:

Add a note in event stating the timezone of the event and that if a user is in a different timezone that the event will appear over 2 days-
