At XML Europe last year, there was a keynote I really enjoyed from Steven Pemberton at the W3C. He's chair of various key W3C committees with an impressive resume.
http://homepages.cwi.nl/~steven/ He was a colleague of Guido's in the early days at CWI (and had photos of both of them with some very weird hairstyles, as well as plenty of anecdotes about ABC and GvR). Mercifully he didn't talk about XML much, in fact I think he was telling them they had overcomplicated it. His talk was about 'keeping things simple' and human-oriented in programming in general. It was quite inspiring and very funny. He's based in Holland so not far to travel. I have a hunch he might find it appealing.
