1. A system for managing conference calls comprising:
- a. a mixer configured to establish a conference call between a plurality of communication devices, wherein each communication device has at least one participant; and
b. a controller configured to determine for each communication device of the plurality of communication devices a number of the participants on said communication device, get a plurality of profiles each containing at least one parameter for one of the participants, generate a filtered list of the participants based on at least one of the parameters in the plurality of profiles, and present the filtered list of the participants.

Abstract
The system and method establish a conference call between a plurality of communication devices. Each communication device may have one or more participants. The number of participants on each communication device is determined. The system and method get a profile for each participant in the conference call. The profile contains at least one parameter. A filtered list of participants in the conference call is generated based on at least one parameter in the profiles. The filtered list of participants is then presented to various participants in the conference call.

-
a. a mixer configured to establish a conference call between a plurality of communication devices, wherein each communication device has at least one participant; and b. a controller configured to determine a number of the participants on each communication device of the plurality of communication devices, generate a first profile by parsing voice input from a first one of the participants on a first one of the communication devices to create at least one parameter in the first profile, generate a second profile by parsing voice input from a second one of the participants on the first one communication device to create at least one parameter in the second profile, get the profile that contains the at least one parameter for each of the participants on each one of the communication devices, generate a filtered list of the participants based on at least one of the parameters in the profiles, and present the filtered list of the participants.
