As I mentioned in the December 2010 CNI Conversations, two of the sessions I found most compelling were those by Chris Lintott of Galaxy Zoo about the design of systems to support citizen scientist engagement, and the really frightening talk by Anthony Williams about quality and consistency issues across reference and research support databases in chemistry.  There is video of both of these sessions available through Vimeo.
