Abstract
The present invention provides an indication to a registered participant of a conference call that an agenda item of interest has been reached. The conference call participant registers to receive a notification signal for particular agenda items that are scheduled to be covered during the conference call. During the conference call, transitions from one agenda item to the next are detected. Such transitions may be detected by receiving a selection by the conference call host or other authority of the agenda item that is to be covered next. Alternatively, a client alerter application may automatically determine which agenda item is being covered. In response to the detection of a transition to a new agenda item, a determination is made as to whether any of the conference call participants has registered to receive notification of the new agenda item. A notification signal is then provided to any participant who has registered to receive such notification.
