That is a difficult question to answer, since each term (conservative, evangelical, biblical scholar) can be defined differently. If you use the example of the Evangelical Theological Society, there will be approximately 2000 people attending their national meeting in November, presenting some 350 papers. But some of those papers might not be considered "conservative" by people who are far more right-wing and they might not be considered "scholarly" by people who attend Society of Biblical Literature meetings, which also meet in November and attract more like 13,000 (along with AAR and a slew of other affiliate groups).

Take as a specific example, Darrell Bock (link to Wikipedia for bibliography). He is at home presenting papers at both ETS and SBL, He was president of ETS in 2001. Bock has published conservative commentaries on Luke and Acts, an important A Theology of Luke and Acts, as well as both scholarly and popular books on historical Jesus. He edited Key Events in the Life of the Historical Jesus: A Collaborative Exploration of Context and Coherence, a major contribution to historical Jesus studies published by Eerdmans. Since he teaches at Dallas Theological Seminary, most would consider him conservative scholar, but his work might be dismissed as "too liberal" by the greater constituency of DTS, and too conservative because he accepts Luke as the author of Luke-Acts and thinks Acts reports accurate history.

Another example is N. T. Wright. He is clearly not an evangelical in the American sense of the word and he is clearly a biblical scholar. But he can be fairly described as conservative when compared to someone like Bart Ehrman. Some of his positions on social issues might even strike some as quite conservative. He is also quite popular with the ETS types, although mostly so they can write books about how wrong he is in justification.

Not sure I answered the question, hopefully this helps clarify the issue.
