See, the electric field inside the conducting sphere is zero because no charge resides inside its surface.
So, by the expression, E = -∂V/∂R 
V is constant since E is zero.
Thus, it will have the same value as it has on the surface i.e., Vcenter = Vsurface
Hence, Vcenter = kQ/R  [where k = 1/4piE  and R is the radii of the sphere]
