A method and conference controller for cluster-based conferencing between ad-hoc network terminals supporting cluster-based conferences and legacy network terminals not equipped with such capabilities. The controller implements a Super User Agent (SUA) having a conference identity, a cluster member list including identities of legacy network's terminals members of a cluster of terminals of the legacy network participating to the conference, and a cluster neighbour list that identifies terminals from an ad-hoc network that act as a super member of a cluster of terminals of the ad-hoc network. Responsive to receipt of a first message for establishing the conference between an ad-hoc network terminal and a legacy network terminal, the SUA sends a second message to establish a connection between the conference controller and one of the legacy network terminal and the ad-hoc network terminal, stores information relative to the conference, and notifies the terminals that the connection for use by the conference is established.
