Be a Part of It: New York, New York!
12 March 2020: It is with heavy hearts that we announce that the NMUN•NY 2020 conferences will not be held. Since our founding in 1927 there was only one other time that we were not able to gather together as future leaders from around the world. That was in 1945 due to a World War II travel ban. We do not make this decision lightly out of respect for your commitment and preparation. The guidance from public officials is now clear: it is impossible to hold the conference. We will provide additional information about refunds early next week to your college/university’s main contacts. We appreciate your understanding that we cannot respond to the overwhelming volume of individual calls and emails at this time. - The NMUN Secretariat and Board of Directors
Join 5,000+ university students, more than half from outside the United States, to discuss current global issues in a real world context. NMUN•NY offers 23 simulated UN committees and uses procedural rules developed with UNITAR. Outside conference sessions, delegates from more than 126 UN Member States can take advantage of opportunities at Permanent Missions to the UN, the United Nations itself, as well as world class museums, architecture, shows, restaurants, and shopping. Conference features include interactions with Secretariat members and sessions held at UN Headquarters (started in 1952).
