🏔️ Case Study — National Commemorative Event

Cəbrayıl Şəhəri Günü 2024
Jabrayil City Day

Full-scale outdoor event production for the annual celebration of the liberation of Jabrayil city — concert stage, tensile dome pavilions, VIP hospitality zones, exhibition areas, and complete AV infrastructure, built from scratch in the heart of Azerbaijan's liberated territories.

Project Overview

The Challenge

Jabrayil City Day (Cəbrayıl Şəhəri Günü) is one of Azerbaijan's most significant annual national events, commemorating the liberation of Jabrayil on October 4, 2020, during the 44-Day Patriotic War. The 2024 celebration was held directly in the rebuilding city of Jabrayil — a powerful symbol of Azerbaijan's restoration of its liberated territories. GM Events was tasked with delivering a complete, multi-zone outdoor event in one of the most logistically challenging locations in the country: a city undergoing active reconstruction, approximately 350 km from Baku, on terrain with no permanent event infrastructure. The project required concert-grade staging, premium VIP pavilions, mass seating, exhibition zones, full AV and lighting systems, on-site sanitation, and a comprehensive site masterplan — all delivered, assembled, and operated in a remote location under tight timelines.

🏔️

Remote Location

Event site in the heart of Jabrayil district — approximately 350 km from Baku, requiring complete logistics planning for equipment transport across the country.

🏗️

Zero Infrastructure

No permanent event facilities — the entire venue was constructed from scratch on leveled ground in the rebuilding city, including all power, AV, staging, and site services.

🇦🇿

National Significance

A high-profile national commemorative event attended by government officials, military personnel, media, and citizens — demanding flawless execution and broadcast-quality production.

📐

Multi-Zone Masterplan

Complex site layout integrating concert stage, VIP pavilion, exhibition domes, seating for 800+, sanitation facilities, and security perimeter — all from a 3D-designed masterplan.

Site Design

3D Masterplan & Venue Layout

Before a single structure was erected, the entire event compound was designed in 3D — mapping every dome, tent, stage, and pathway to optimize flow, sightlines, and logistics on the remote Jabrayil site.

🎪

6+ Dome & Tent Structures

Large tensile arch domes, marquee tents, and smaller pod structures distributed across the compound for concerts, exhibitions, VIP reception, and services.

🌿

Landscaping Integration

Green grass strips, planted trees, potted evergreens, and decorative planters softened the arid terrain and created a welcoming atmosphere in the rebuilt city.

🔒

Fenced Security Perimeter

Full compound fencing with controlled entry points, metal barriers, and crowd management zones ensuring safety for all attendees and VIP guests.
