Global Conference Partners originated the free teleconferencing concept with highly automated, enterprise quality conferencing services for businesses and organizations requiring top-tier performance at little or no cost. Global Conference Partners continues to lead the industry with innovative value-added audio and web conferencing options that let users customize the conferencing features they need just when they need them.

Acquired in May of 2006 by American Capital Strategies, FreeConference.com has traditionally served the audio conferencing marketplace. American Capital Strategies is a publicly traded Private Equity firm with close to $10B under management. FreeConference.com, which was formed in 2001, was renamed Global Conference Partners™ under the new ownership. Under the new corporate name, Global Conference Partners reflects the company's vision to deliver full service audio, video and web-based collaboration solutions users want worldwide.

Today, the company's services are used by many savvy businesses, organizations and consumers seeking to reduce their telecommunications and travel expenses, without sacrificing the high sound quality and custom features offered by far more expensive competitors. Global Conference Partners has built a strong offering serving as an attractive alternative to conference call services that are inexpensive but featureless and/or built on underdeveloped bridging systems, as well as those that are feature-rich but overpriced.

Flagship services www.freeconference.com, www.instantconference.com and www.globalconference.com provide simple, convenient, reliable conferencing solutions to enterprises and organizations. Currently the company also has services in the United Kingdom (www.conferenceuk.com).
