The M100 Sanssouci Colloquium takes place in the Orangery of Sanssouci Palace and in the Raffael Hall. The western wing of the Orangery, which accommodates hundred of plants in winter, will be used for the speeches and debates scheduled to last from the morning through to the evening. The M100 Media award ceremony will take place in the gorgeous Raffael Hall. For the first time the final gala dinner will be held in the Orangery.

Orangery in Sanssouci Park
The Orangery in Sanssouci Park is an impressive example of the buildings created by Frederick William IV, who was known as the "Romantic on the throne". The imposing building complex - including greenhouses and the central Orangery Palace, sculptures, fountains, arcades and terraces - brings a bit of the Mediterranean sun to Potsdam, while graphically documenting Frederick William IV's ardent admiration for Italy. Italian Renaissance villas served as its models. The architectural ensemble was created between 1851-64. During the extended construction period, Ludwig Persius, August Stüler and Ludwig Ferdinand Hesse were responsible for the plans, although the king's designs were unquestionably incorporated.
