A method, system and apparatus for the integrated management of in-person
and e-meeting attendance. A system for the consolidated management of an
attendance list for a hybrid meeting can include a collaborative bridge
configured for coupling both to an in-person meeting and an e-meeting, a
data store of integrated attendance, and attendance integration logic
programmed to manage a consolidated attendance list in the data store for
the in-person meeting and the e-meeting by accessing attendance
information through the collaborative bridge. Notably, the in-person
meeting can include a sensor coupled to the collaborative bridge and
configured to detect a presence of tags affixed to participants to the
in-person meeting to manage the attendance information for the in-person
meeting. As an example, the sensor and tags can be a radio frequency
identification (RFID) sensor and corresponding RFID tags, a badge reader
and corresponding badges, or at least one wireless access point and
corresponding wireless transmitters.
