A computer-implemented method controls communication channels in a communication network used for an electronic meeting. One or more processors collect a set of participant data related to a set of participants of an electronic meeting. One or more processors ascertain one or more sets of predicted sub-topics of the electronic meeting and then determine, based on the set of participant data and the one or more sets of predicted sub-topics, a set of leader readiness factors that identifies participants that are best qualified to lead the electronic meeting when particular sub-topics arise during the electronic meeting. In response to detecting that the particular sub-topic has arisen during the electronic meeting, a hardware communication controller opens a communication channel on the communication network that is dedicated for use by a best qualified participant to transmit information to other participants of the electronic meeting.
