Abstract
A method of establishing a multimedia conference meeting includes assigning unique user identifiers to corresponding users and corresponding persistent virtual private meeting rooms dedicated to the corresponding users. Conference sessions are established using the persistent virtual private meeting rooms in response to activation acts by the users. Resources for establishing communications among users that are logged in to the conference sessions are dynamically allocated using distributed conference bridge computers. Resources presented during the conference sessions in the persistent virtual private meeting rooms remain available in the persistent virtual private meeting rooms after the conference sessions end.
