This talk is at the nexus of several of my biggest interests.
1. This guy, Cameron Sinclair, has a fascinating story about developing a non-profit architectural organization, Architecture for Humanity. His story is amazing, and his main points are inspiring.
2. TED, Technology, Entertainment, and Design - This conference consistently delivers exciting and inspiring speakers and topics. Presentations are added weekly and are available as a podcast. If you subscribe to no other podcast, this is the podcast you should listen to.
3. SketchUp Basecamp - The connection here is a little tenuous, but here it is anyway. Last year (June 2008) there was a user appreciation conference/party for a few select SketchUp users (at the Googleplex). I, very fortunately, was invited to attend. It was AWESOME. One of the highlights was that Cameron Sinclair spoke with a similar theme. The conference concluded with a a little design charette for an Architcture for Humanity project in Brazil. My team came in 2nd.
