The crown jewel of Baku’s modern skyline, the Heydar Aliyev Centre was designed by famous architect Zaha Hadid without a single straight line in its design. One of the city’s most iconic landmarks, the Centre fascinates its visitors with its curved architectural style that reflects a portrayal of an eternal cycle between the past and the future that is represented by the lines of this masterpiece. Named the Design of the Year by London’s Design Museum in 2014, the Heydar Aliyev Centre welcomes the guests and participants of the IAC for a variety of sessions and events in its auditorium, multifunctional halls, and meeting rooms.

Highlighting the contemporary architecture of Azerbaijan’s capital, the Centre reminds of a spacecraft that mysteriously landed in the centre of Baku. This astonishing building is the Baku Convention Centre, a dedicated venue for major congresses, conferences, and business events with an area of 46,000m². Multifunctional and spacious, it boasts excellent infrastructure and inventory, flexible rooms, large multi-purpose auditorium, and smart and elegant design.
