A routing system according to an embodiment of the invention dynamically routes a conference call to a selected conference system. The routing system includes a communication interface, a conference interface, and a processing system. The processing system accesses utilization statistics for the plurality of conference systems and includes a routing algorithm. The processing system is configured to receive a conference identifier of the conference call, process the conference identifier and the utilization statistics of the plurality of conference systems to select the selected conference system, and route the conference call to the selected conference system.
