A conferencing system operable on a computer network includes a conference server that communicates with a conference host device that provides conference information to the conference server. A participant scoring engine, which may be part of a search engine, is in communication with a participant database. The participant database includes one or more attributes of available participants. The participant scoring engine (a) filters or ranks the participants based on the conference information provided by a conference host via the conference host device to the conference server, and by comparing the conference information to the one or more attributes of at least some of the available participants creates a filtered participant database that includes a subset of the participants in the database, and (b) determines a score for each of the participants in the filtered participant database, wherein the score is based on the conference information and the one or more attributes of each participant in the filtered database.

Determining alternate meeting participants based on purpose and role detection

Systems and methods for communications are disclosed. The systems and methods establish a communication between at least a first user device and a second user device. Additionally, the systems and methods transfer information between at least the first user device and the second user device within the communication. The systems and methods also present a representation of collaborative content to the first user device and the second user device. Additionally, the systems and methods receive a first user input from the first user device during the communication and receive a second user input from the second user device during the communication. The systems and methods also update the collaborative content during the communication based on the first user input and the second user input.
