This is more of a -user question, but here's a couple ideas

I have a out-of-tree module that stores conference information
in a database and includes a termination time.  To accomplish 
the 'timeout', I have a small PHP script that monitors for active
conferences, checks their scheduled end time, gives a five minute
warning and then uses the manager API to shutdown the conference at
the correct time.

If you're conferences will not use fixed start/stop times the 
problem is just a small bit different.  You can use the manager
API to get a list of conferences and their duration,  and if a 
conference is over it's limit, use the manager API to end the 
conference.
