Abstract: Various systems and methods for objectively evaluating conference events are disclosed. In some embodiments, the systems and methods include a conference calling platform, such as a conference bridge device, that has a scoring unit. During a conference call, the platform can receive information from the conference system pertaining to the conference call. The scoring unit can use such information to determine an engagement score for the conference call itself and/or for individual attendees. The engagement score and/or information related to the engagement score can be provided to an organizer and/or to individual attendees.

Abstract: An apparatus, a system, a method and a computer program product are provided. The system includes a controller configured to broadcast a web-based meeting between a first user and a second user. The system further includes a graphical user interface configured to display the broadcasted web-based meeting. The controller is configured to receive a request from the first user through the graphical user interface. The request includes one of a text question, a recorded video question and a request from the first user to present a live video question to the second user. The controller is further configured to broadcast the request through the graphical user interface as a real time video feed of the first user, so that the first user can ask the question in real time and the second user can respond to the first user's question in real time.
