Last Friday and Saturday I had the privilege of going to the Desiring God Conference in Minneapolis and the theme was -- "The Power of Words." I did not get to hear Dan Taylor on Saturday afternoon or Piper on Sunday morning but the four I heard were great.
This was the order in which they impacted me -- my rankings (top 3).
1. Paul David Tripp - War of Words - Getting to the heart for God's sake
2. Mark Driscoll -- How Sharp the Edge? Christ, Controversy and Cutting Words
3. Bob Kauflin -- Words of Wonder - What Happens when we Sing?
Here is the media links for video and audio of the talks:

Daniel,
Thanks so much for making it easy to watch the videos from the DG conference. I appreciate you putting all the links from the sessions and panels on your blog so all I have to do is click on which one I want to read, listen to, or watch....and bingo! I look forward to seeing the conference now since I didn't attend. "Thank you" from a non-techy person. :)

Yes - this is really great how you got the links all layed out so nice!
I agree with your summation of the speakers, and in that order.
