1. A location-sensitive conference-data-session system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising;
receiving, by way of a peer-to-peer data session between a location-sensitive conference-data-session system and a mobile communication device, and directly from the mobile communication device, a communication comprising geographic-location information, indicating a geographic location of the mobile communication device, and user information comprising data identifying the mobile communication device;
identifying, using the geographic-location information received, a conference-data-session system component to which to connect the communication; and
initiating, using the geographic-location information and the user-information received, establishment of a second data session, to use voice over Internet protocol, between the mobile communication device and a conference-data-session system component identified.

Abstract
Systems and methods for providing location based conference calling services on communications networks. Location information relating to a device is passed to a location sensitive conference calling system. The location sensitive conference calling system uses the location information to identify a conference calling system, or a conference bridge associated with a conference calling system, to which to connect the device. The device is connected with the conference calling system, or a conference bridge associated with the conference calling system.
