Where there are first conference terminals that can be connected with a selected one of line speeds, and second television terminals that can be connected with a fixed one of the line speeds, and a plurality of conference devices each capable of simultaneously holding multi-location conferences at a selected one of said plurality of line speeds are provided, an operational management device is provided to assign, at the time of convening or reserving a conference, the conference device by a sequential search in an order different dependent on the selected line speed.
