It's a pretty intense conference and unlike any other event I've ever attended. The meeting allows for many of the evangelical academic leaders to gather and discuss various theological issues and to build relationships. It's a fun but exhausting atmosphere, as there are roughly 500 academic papers presented in three days. Since you can't attend them all (nor would you want to), you have to choose wisely. Usually, my mind is fried by about 2 or 3 PM each day, trying to absorb all the deep content.
One of the better presentations was a paper by Wayne Grudem titled "Fifty reasons why poor nations stay poor." I had heard him share on this topic years ago in an ethics class and was excited to hear more.
Though the talk from ETS is not available, you can listen to the longer version, in 4 parts, that he gave to his Sunday School class here:
50 Factors within nations that determine their wealth and poverty.
You can also download the message outlines here, and on the class website.
