If you get a chance try to attend a analyst press conference. You can attand such a call in person or on a conference call. These are calls that a typical publicly traded company hosts every quarter. Usually the CFO and the CEO of the company are present. The meeting starts out with CFO or CEO giving the ‘state of the company’ speech. This is followed by a question and answer session with the financial analysts. During this session analysts from around the country or from around the world can ask questions about the performance of the company. Such Q&A sessons are usually managed by an event co-ordinator. The conference bridge being used to conduct such meetings allows the co-ordinator to tell which individual participant needs to ask a question and then allow or disallow the question based on contraints such as time avaialble, importance of the question etc. Some conference bridges allow an analyst to ask a question in private. The question is then filtered by the co-ordinator for relevancy and then asked in the conference.
