Baku Convention Center, Convention center in Nəsimi raion, Azerbaijan
The Baku Convention Center is a covered multifunctional complex on Tabriz Street, next to the Heydar Aliyev Center. Its 46,600 square metres of built area hold 17 conference halls seating over 2,500 people in total, plus a 3,500-seat auditorium. A 405-square-metre monitor in the foyer is the largest multi-pixel indoor screen in the world.
The facility was built between 2014 and 2015 and marks an important development in Azerbaijan's ability to host large international events. The project formed part of the city's modern infrastructure expansion.
The first event hosted here was the 48th Annual Meeting of the Asian Development Bank's Board of Governors, held 2–5 May 2015 with about 3,000 participants, the first time it took place in the South Caucasus. In 2017 the center hosted the 41st World Scout Conference, with some 1,500 delegates from 160 countries, and in December 2023 the FIA prize-giving ceremony.
The center stands on Tabriz Street in Nəsimi raion, next to the Heydar Aliyev Center, so the two can be visited on one trip. The building has escalators and 16 lifts serving its floors, with the office wing and media center on the upper level and service rooms at ground level. The 3,500-seat auditorium and the 17 conference halls are event spaces, so check access before planning a look inside.
The foyer holds a 405-square-metre monitor, described in the sources as the largest and highest-pixel indoor screen in the world; more than 50 monitors of different sizes are installed across the building. The auditorium seats 3,500 and its acoustics come from leading international manufacturers.
