Trust is built one conversation at a time.

Conversational Capital Summit

April 29–30 2027 | Norrsken House | Barcelona

Every AI interaction is either building trust or eroding it. Most organisations don't yet know which. The Conversational Capital Summit brings together the thinkers and practitioners who are determined to change that.

About the Conversational Capital Summit

The Conversational Capital Summit is a select, two-day gathering for leaders working at the intersection of AI strategy and organisational practice. It is a structured senior-level conversation, hosted by CDI, designed to advance thinking on how organisations build and sustain value through conversational AI.

Day 1 is a closed session with panellists and 50 invited senior leaders. We will hold structured debates, Chatham House rules, no recording.

Day 2 is the same panel, in public — 100 selected in-person guests and a remote livestream audience. Recorded and made available afterwards as the Summit Pack, with a curated showreel, supporting materials and the Summit's AI agent.

The Conversational Capital Summit is an initiative of the Conversation Design Institute — the world's leading training, certification and consulting body for conversational AI, helping enterprises build human-centred AI assistants at scale — and the CDI Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to developing and promoting design standards for conversational AI through research, education and industry development.

By invitation only. 50 senior leaders selected from the waitlist. Structured debates on the most consequential questions in conversational AI strategy. Chatham House rules — what's said in the room stays in the room.

Day 2 — Open session 100 in-person seats · $650

100 registered guests, selected from the waitlist. The same debate format as Day 1 — structured argument, not panels — professionally recorded and made available as a curated content product after the event.

The Summit Pack Live debates · AI agent · Curated showreel · $250

A complete record of the Summit's thinking, accessible from anywhere. Day 2 debates streamed live, plus a curated showreel of highlights from both days, the Summit's AI agent for ongoing exploration of the arguments, and supporting materials including framework explainers, debate context, and selected panellist perspectives.

Built for the strategy teams who will translate these arguments into practice, not just those who happened to miss the Summit in person. For those who can't be in Barcelona but want to be part of the conversation.
