This week (Jun 7-12, 2015) at Penn State:

General Relativity and Gravitation: A Centennial Perspective
http://event.gravity.psu.edu/index.shtml

There will be a live stream of the plenary sessions.
For the updated schedule and link to the streams, consult
http://event.gravity.psu.edu/complete_program-final.html
(I'm not sure if the streams will be archived.)

The first plenary is Monday 9am EDT.
However, you might want to tune in for the opening remarks at 8:40am...
in case a link materializes for it.
Since there is a stream into an overflow room,
I would think that there would be an internet-accessible link to that stream.

(On an iPhone/iPad, you'll need something from the App Store.
