How to Select a Conference
There are many factors to consider when selecting a conference to attend, most notably:
- cost,
- travel distance,
- conference size,
- and dates.
There is no international rating system or quality index for Model UN Conferences - the reputation of a given conference is the only indication of quality available.
If you have never participated in a particular conference, it is wise to request the names and addresses of faculty members and students who participated in a previous conference and contact them directly. UNA-USA does not rate conferences or promote competition among them, but will assist teachers and students by recommending conferences.
If you are doing Model UN for the first time you should consider starting out small. Success at a smaller model will often give your team the necessary confidence and skills to debate well on the larger scale.
The ideal is to attend a series of conferences that gradually increase in scope and size, marking your team's progress and improvement.
For many MUN delegations the goal is to work toward a final large event, thus retaining focus, momentum, and excitement throughout the year. At the same time, smaller conferences can offer a challenge to even the most experienced delegate.
