Be a Part of It: New York, New York!
NMUN•NY 2021 will be a virtual conference due to the uncertainty caused by COVID-19 (travel bans, social distancing issues, quarantine requirements, and other NYC regulations).
Join thousands of university students, more than half from outside the United States, to discuss current global issues in a real world context. NMUN•NY offers 22 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). In 2021 the UN sessions will be replaced by a guided virtual UN tour.
