The New York Advantage
WIMUN takes place in New York City, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. New York City is the capital of Diplomacy as the home of the United Nations Headquarters. Delegates get the chance to explore Midtown New York and have lunch at any nearby local food spots that diplomats frequent. New York City is home to wonderful sites like the Empire State Building, Lady Liberty, and Central Park. Come join WIMUN and catch a Broadway Show after the conference!
Staff and Students From All Around The World
One of the benefits of WIMUN is that there is a strong sense of community and a strong bond among staff, despite geographic distance. Our student staff come from across the globe and spend months preparing the conference, mostly online. Once they are on-site there is an immediate staff culture of inclusivity. This extends to the delegates, who have hailed from 60+ countries in the past and have created valuable friendships that strengthened and grown the WIMUN community over the years.
