There were four "Berlin Conferences"; one in 1878, 1884, 1945, and 1954:
1878 - Congress of Berlin held at Bismarck's residence at Wilhelmstrasse - this was a meeting in Berlin between the Ottoman empire, the six Great powers (Austria-Hungary, Germany, France, Great Britain, Russia, and Italy) and four Balkan states (Serbia, Greece, Montenegro, and Romania)
1884 - Berlin Conference held at Bismarck's residence at Wilhelmstrasse - 14 countries signed an agreement to regulate trade in Africa and British colonization.
1945 - Potsdam Conference (older documents refer to it as the Berlin Conference) held at Cecilienhof, a palace in Potsdam, Brandenburg, Germany - the conference's goals were to create a peace treaty and counter the effects of the war.
1954 - Berlin Conference at the Allied Controlled Authority (ACA) building - foreign ministers from US, UK, France, and the Soviet Union met to discuss the war between the French and the Vietnamese and the recently ended Korean War.
All of the European powers met and discussed how they would settle the colonization disputes in Africa, to prevent a war between the nations.
