I'm not professing to be an expert on the subject but I have been thinking about it recently.
I would say debate is war with words, where the object is to defeat your opponent, either by discrediting or disproving or outmanouvering. Often debators show the academic legacy of crushing their opponents with the weight of their learning.
Conversation to me is much more interesting and is about trying to find common ground in order to understand each other.
