Implementations disclosed herein relate to systems and methods for conference screening. According to one implementation, a method includes connecting a participant to a multi-mode conference in a listen-only mode and receiving a request of active participation in the multi-mode conference from the participant. In response to receipt of the request for active participation, the participant is bridged into a private screening subconference, and information relating to the participant's requested active participation to the multi-mode conference is received via the private screening subconference responsive to a prompt. In response to the receipt of the information via the private screening subconference, the participant is placed in a queue to await authorization for active participation in the multi-mode conference, the queue including at least one other participant previously screened in another private screening sub-conference. The method further includes detecting selection of the participant from the queue, and establishing a connection between the participant and the multi-mode conference based on detection of the selection.

1. A method of providing a multi-mode conference comprising: connecting a participant to the multi-mode conference in a listen-only mode;receiving a request for active participation in the multi-mode conference from the participant;in response to receipt of the request for active participation, bridging the participant into a private screening sub-conference;receiving, via the private screening sub-conference, information relating to the participant's requested active participation to the multi-mode conference responsive to a prompt;in response to the receipt of the information via the private screening sub-conference, placing the participant in a queue to await authorization for active participation in the multi-mode conference, the queue including at least one other participant previously screened in another private screening sub-conference;detecting selection of the participant from the queue; andestablishing a connection between the participant and the multi-mode conference based on detection of the selection. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the participant is connected to the multi-mode conference in the half-duplex mode while in the queue. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising: displaying at least some of information collected during the private screening sub-conference on an interface visible to a multi-mode conference host. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the interface further displays a list of participants in the queue. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the participant is connected to the multi-mode conference at a reduced volume while in the private screening sub-conference. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the queue includes both screened participants and participants awaiting screening. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising: placing the participant back in the listen-only mode after the participant has actively participated in the multi-mode conference via the connection. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving input to selectively re-order the queue. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein detecting selection of the participant from the queue further comprises detecting selection of a participant that is not at the top of the queue. 10. One or more tangible computer-readable storage media encoding computer-executable instructions for executing on a computer system a computer process comprising: connecting a participant to the multi-mode conference in a listen-only mode;receiving a request for active participation in the multi-mode conference from the participant;in response to receipt of the request for active participation, bridging the participant into a private screening sub-conference;receiving, via the private screening sub-conference, information relating to the participant's requested active participation to the multi-mode conference responsive to a prompt; andin response to the receipt of the information via the private screening sub-conference, placing the participant in a queue to await authorization for active participation in the multi-mode conference, the queue including at least one other participant previously screened in another private screening sub-conference;detecting the selection of the participant from the queue; andestablishing a connection between the participant and the multi-mode conference based on the detection of the selection. 11.

The one or more tangible computer-readable storage media of claim 10, wherein the participant is connected to the multi-mode conference at a reduced volume while in the private screening sub-conference. 16. The one or more tangible computer-readable storage media of claim 10, wherein the queue includes both screened participants and participants awaiting screening. 17. The one or more tangible computer-readable storage media of claim 10, wherein the computer process further comprises: receiving input to selectively re-order the queue. 18. The one or more tangible computer-readable storage media of claim 10, wherein detecting selection of the participant from the queue further comprises detecting selection of a participant that is not at the top of the queue. 19. A multi-mode conference system comprising: one or more control interfaces configured to:connect a participant to the multi-mode conference in a listen-only mode;receive a request for active participation in the multi-mode conference from the participant;in response to receipt of the request for active participation, bridge the participant into a private screening sub-conference;receive, via the private screening sub-conference, information relating to the participant's requested active participation to the multi-mode conference responsive to a prompt;in response to the receipt of the information via the private screening sub-conference, place the participant in a queue to await authorization for active participation in the multi-mode conference, the queue including at least one other participant previously screened in another private screening sub-conference;detect a selection of the participant from the queue; andestablish a full-duplex connection between the selected participant and the multi-mode conference based on the detection of the selection. 20. The multi-mode conference system of claim 19, wherein the participant is connected to the multi-mode conference in the half-duplex mode while in the queue. 21. The multi-mode conference system of claim 19, wherein the control interfaces are further configured to place the participant back in the listen-only mode after the participant has actively participated in the multi-mode conference via the full-duplex connection. 22. The multi-mode conference system of claim 19, wherein the control interfaces are further configured to: display at least some of information collected during the private screening sub-conference on an interface visible to a multi-mode conference host. 23. The multi-mode conference system of claim 19, wherein the control interfaces are further configured to display a list of participants in the queue. 24. The multi-mode conference system of claim 19, wherein the control interfaces are further configured to: place the participant back in the listen-only mode after the participant has actively participated in the multi-mode conference via the full-duplex connection. 25. The multi-mode conference system of claim 19, wherein the control interfaces are further configured to receive input to selectively re-order the queue. 26. The multi-mode conference system of claim 19, wherein the control interfaces are further configured to detect selection of a participant that is not at the top of the queue.
