Punctuality is a social virtue. Asking 'Wann' is a polite way to ensure you are on time. Similar to Germany, but often slightly more relaxed in social settings. Extremely precise. 'Wann' often implies a very specific minute.

Don't overthink the grammar. Just use 'Wann ist' + [Noun].
Watch out for 'Wenn'
Never use 'Wenn' for questions. It is the most common error for beginners.
