What is a conversation scope?

A conversation scope fits between a Session scope and a Request scope in J2EE terms. An object in a session is specific to a particular user of a web app. If you place an object in the users session it will be available on every page hit the user makes.

A conversation scope defines a long lived set of data that is specific to a process, such as configuring a product, or filling out a customers personal and credit information. It differs from a session scope in that one user should be able to have multiple of th same type of conversation at the same time. You might actually have to help more than one customer at a time, or configure multiple products, one on each tab in your web browser.
