Are there different ways to pronounce 会議室?
I heard "kai i shi tzu" and "kai gi shi tzu".

No, just the latter. You just didn't hear the "gi" but it must be there.
 
The first seems clear enough to me, idk. The third I think is using the nasal 'ng' rather than a hard 'g' (or they just had a cold when they recorded...? :unsure:)

You hear the nasal 'ng' mostly with が not so much with ぎ but both hard-g and 'ng' map to the が-row in japanese phonetics. Wikipedia even gives かぎ as an example of a Japanese word using this sound in some accents, Voiced velar nasal - Wikipedia
