It's a speech made while saying goodbye. It comes from the Latin "vale" (pronounced val-lay) meaning "goodbye" and "dictum" meaning saying. Valedictory speeches are a regular feature of graduation ceremonies where the graduates are saying goodbye to each other as they go their separate ways. They are often soppily nostalgic and full of trite sentiments.
