Tips to Make Your Large Conference Calls More Productive
It can be really challenging to host a large conference call. For regular conference calls, the optimal size of attendees is only around 3 to 6 people in total.

Cost Effective Large Conference Calls
Users of large event calls are usually large or global organizations with the regular need to bring together a number of employees from different locations. It can be likened to organizing a physical get-together, such as a conference or seminar, but with greater, unpredictable technical factors at play.

Large Conference Call Reports – An Invaluable Feature
We’ve talked about how you can determine if your conferencing service can really handle large event conference calls, keeping in mind the most important feature being that the service platform should not get overwhelmed by the high volume of users dialing in. The service should not be slowed down and the quality of the event call should still be as excellent as a regular conference call despite the high number of attendees. Another necessary feature is that they should offer enough capable specialist support for attendee-monitoring requirements and most importantly be able to provide participant detailed reports.

Security for Large Audience Calls
When you think large scale event, the first thing that comes to mind is the challenge of handling a huge volume of people coming together. Much like in real life, an important item that you have on your checklist is ensuring the event is secure especially when it’s high profile.
This is why when you choose a large event conferencing service, you should check the kind of security measures they have in place, considering if it’s a strategic, confidential, or information-sensitive call, as there is a heightened need for security as the volume of attendees goes up.
Typical conferencing services use passcodes that can be shared across the organization for long term use. But these permanent, shareable passcodes are not as secure as you think, which is why unique passkeys are a must for high volume calls. On top of that, a secure large conference call service should offer …
Can Your Conference Call Provider Really Handle Large Event Conference Calls?
