The international media conference M100 Sanssouci Colloquium brings together Europe`s top editors, commentators and media owners (print, broadcasting and internet) alongside key public figures to assess the role and impact of the media in international affairs and to promote democracy and freedom of expression and speech.
The Colloquium was initiated in 2005 by a group of leading media and public figures when Potsdam was running for European Capital of Culture 2010. Since then the conference annually takes place in Park Sanssouci. M100 Sanssouci Colloquium stands for 100 leading media and public figures and the venue of the conference, the Park Sanssouci in Potsdam. The M100 Young European Journalists workshop (M100YEJ, former M100 Youth Media Workshop) annually invites young journalists between 18 and 26 years old from all over Europe to Potsdam.
