Dear Delegates and Faculty Advisors,
It is my distinct pleasure to invite you and your school to another year of spirited debate, informed negotiations, and creative problem-solving at the twenty-ninth session of the world-renowned Ivy League Model United Nations Conference. Hosted by the University of Pennsylvania International Affairs Association, ILMUNC is a known for substantive excellence paired with an unmatched events schedule beyond committee, ranging from tours to a summer opportunities fair to an incredible delegate dance.
This year, ILMUNC will be held from January 24th – 27th at the Sheraton Philadelphia Center City Hotel in the heart of the city of Brotherly Love. The conference is minutes away from Philadelphia’s most historic landmarks and its cultural icons, including the Liberty Bell, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and Rittenhouse Square.

U.Penn hosted ILMUNC China
Having established its international presence over the last few years by holding a sub-conference of the WEMUN Expo in Beijing, the Ivy League Model United Nations Conference has now become a permanent fixture in China. Under the leadership of 2011 University of Pennsylvania graduate Brittany Elliott as Secretary-General and in coordination with WELAND International, seven Penn students traveled to Shanghai in the first week of March to host the first annual ILMUNC-China.

Phill Venice
Phill Venice served as Secretary-General of the 2012 Ivy League Model United Nations Conference (ILMUNC) this past January. I met Phill over the summer while we were at the WEMUN Expo in China and I happened to be holding an informal roundtable discussion with the Secretaries-General of several of the top conferences in the United States. I immediately noticed that Phill had a sharp understanding of the larger trends in Model UN and I made sure to catch up with Phill to get his insights.
In this interview, I asked Phill to discuss several topics related to the future growth of Model United Nations through his experience as Secretary-General of ILMUNC and as a member of the University of Pennsylvania’s International Affairs Association (Penn IAA): the significant growth of ILMUNC, growth through outreach programs, novice committees at large conferences, bringing Model UN to underserved regions, and international expansion.
