Conference Call

What Does Conference Call Mean?
An event during which investors can call in to a special phone number and hear company management report its quarterly results as well as forward, or projected, earnings. While the average investor can only listen to the call, the reporting company will often field questions from analysts. Also known as "earnings conference call", "analyst call" and "earnings call".

Investopedia explains Conference Call
Most publicly-held companies hold four conference calls per year. Many companies offer audiocasts of their calls over the internet.
