摘要

A method for providing a virtual conference includes obtaining participant location information associated with participant identifiers, establishing an audio conference using the participant identifiers, and executing logic that receives information from a client device coupled to a conferencing system via a network, the conferencing system further executing logic that communicates the information to one or more client devices. A distributed system includes client devices with respective graphical interfaces and a conferencing system coupled to the client devices via a network. The conferencing system includes a first interface, an audio conferencing application, and a survey application. The first interface obtains location information associated with respective participant identifiers. The audio conference application establishes an audio conference using the participant identifiers. The survey application receives information from a client device coupled to the conferencing system via the network and communicates the information to one or more respective client devices, during the audio conference.
