Conference Bridging Options
The Office of Administration Conference Bridge allows up to 30 conferees and is available to all state agencies. The conference bridge must be reserved by the state agency, but can include conferees not on the state network.
There are two types of conferences available:
Progressive Conference Calls
This type of conference is initiated by the State Operator at a cost of $10.00 per hour plus usage. The cost will be billed to the agency designated by the person reserving the bridge. With this type of conference, the operator dials each conferee and connects them to the bridge.
To establish a conference call, dial the state operator at 573-751-2000.
The operator will request the following information:
- Date and time of conference
- Number of people attending the conference
- Length of conference
- Name and number of contact person
- Agency name
- Telephone number to which the call should be billed
- Names and numbers of conferees
At a predetermined conference time, the State Operator will begin by adding the individuals who reserve the conference. The operator will then add the designated conferees until all have been included. A high pitch tone will be heard by all conferees whenever a person enters and leaves the conference call.
To terminate the conference call, the conferee who reserved the bridge needs to notify the state operator.
Meet-Me Conference Calls
The Meet-Me conference call is $5.00 per hour plus usage. With this type of call, the bridge is reserved for a specific time and all conferees are given a number and a time to call the bridge. The State Operator is not involved in this type of call.
