Symposium on Visions of the Theory of Computing by the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing.
Description:
May 29-31, 2013, UC Berkeley: This three-day symposium brought together distinguished speakers and participants from the Bay Area and all over the world to celebrate both the excitement of fundamental research on the Theory of Computing, and the accomplishments and promise of computational research in effecting progress in other sciences – the two pillars of the research agenda of the Institute.
I’m not sure if it is YouTube or the people who post videos to YouTube, but customary sorting rules, such as by an author’s last name appear to be lacking.
To facilitate your finding the lecture of your choice, I have sorted the videos by the speaker’s last name.

Should you have the occasion to post a list of videos, papers, presentations, please be courteous to readers who want to scan a list sorted by author/presenter.
It will still appear to be a random ordering to those unfamiliar with that technique. (Or ctrl-f or search engines.) 😉
