CoCon is a software suite for conference management and assistance, that opens up a host of options and configuration settings to control every aspect of the meeting experience. CoCon is connected to a central conference unit that controls a number of microphones and other conference equipment. The software interacts with the central conference unit to enable various functionalities and views on the conference. That is why CoCon is conceived as a client-server framework. The CoCon Discussion Module serves as the base of the suite and is needed to run other plugin modules.
