Even 250 years ago, Potsdam was a place for great minds to meet. The French philosopher Voltaire, the writer arquis d‘Argens, the philosophising physician La Mettrie and the Italian poet Algarotti all met at the legendary „round table“ gatherings of King Frederick II at Sanssouci Palace. Today Potsdam‘s historic town centre as well as its surrounding area with numerous forests and lakes provides a suitable ambience for diverse meetings of intelligent minds. From the technically perfect conference room to a stylish banqueting hall through to a large congress hall.
