You don't really. Why exactly would you want to do this?

How might I  keep the conference on hold until a particular caller joins? Additionally when this special user leaves I'd like to place the conference back on hold.

If your doing dialplan via mod_xml_curl you can do all that validation in your dialplan lookup.
