There are a few ways to invite people. 

 * If you need to talk to the invited party before adding them to the 
   conference (perhaps a hotel room without DID) you need the patch
   from 
      http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_advanced_page.php?bug_id=0003405

 * You could use the manager interface or a call file to place a call
   that, when answered, places the new party in the conference 
   autmatically.

 * Various scenarios based on one of the above.
