The 21st annual World Model United Nations Vancouver 2012 Conference will be held from March 11-15.

(Note: more about WorldMUN to come!)

Conference Previews
Washington Area Model United Nations Conference (WAMUNC)
The Washington Area Model United Nations Conference , a 4 day long exercise in diplomacy, international affairs and global knowledge, is one of the premiere model united nations conferences in the United States. Over the four days, the goal of WAMUNC is to provide an educational experience through stimulating thoughts and ideas through simulation. Further, WAMUNC’s location in the nation’s capital allows delegates to experience briefings, lectures, and speeches from leading professionals in related fields. All these experiences culminate to make WAMUNC stand apart from the other Model UN conferences available to secondary school students.
