In arranging a conference with the audio conference system, a conference time and potential participants are designated. At the conference time, the audio conference system directs the public switched telephone network to place a telephone call to each of the potential participants and sends an invitation to a computer systems associated with the potential participants regarding the audio conference. The potential participants then return an indication of whether they desire to be audio conference participants and computer conference participants. If so, the audio conference system will send each computer participant display data with information about the audio conference including who is participating in the conference. Additional display data may also be included such as documents that are to be discussed during the conference.
