One of the best presentation days I've seen was the Center for Bits and Atoms, which is an interdisciplinary group at the Media lab looking at convergence of computer science and physical science.
Check it out here: You can download the presentations from the links. I especially liked what Isaac Chuang presented on Quantum computing(he's a known world class expert).
Also, Yael Maguire on Microfluidics that use bubble logic, Rahul Sarpeshkar on biolectronics, Andreas Mershin on Bottom up nanobiotech, Saul Griffith on fabrication by folding, Bill Butera on conformational computing. Amy Sun, one of my teamates from the MIT Rowing Club gave a great perspective on Energy and the development of the US(think natural power of water as US competitive advantage vs. England)
