Virtual Model United Nations Conferences (VMUNC)

Welcome to the Best Delegate Virtual Model United Nations Conferences (VMUNC)

VMUNC is a series of one-day virtual Model UN conferences throughout the school year that help students learn and practice their public speaking, debate, negotiation, and leadership skills. Students will represent different countries or world leaders and will be challenged to work with others to solve real world issues.

Save the Dates for 2021-2022!

All conferences take place from 12-6pm Eastern time. This enables delegates from throughout the USA and Canada time zones to participate together. 

What will Model UN look like in 2021-2022?

Global citizens will need to succeed in both virtual and in-person interactions in the future, so the best preparation is to build public speaking, debating, negotiation, and teamwork skills in both formats today. 

At Best Delegate, we believe the future of Model United Nations will comprise a mix of virtual MUN conferences and in-person MUN conferences. The combination of both formats will help students build the confidence and community they need to succeed. 

We recommend MUN clubs build a schedule with a mix of both types of conferences, or to add more virtual MUN conferences to their schedule to create accessible opportunities for their students. 

Our conferences are 100% virtual and low-cost so that MUN clubs can easily add it into next year's conference schedule. Use our conferences to help new students learn Model UN and help experienced students hone their Model UN skills. And for schools located in areas where attending in-person Model UN conferences is not feasible, then our virtual conferences provide a high quality and accessible Model UN experience.

Why participate in the Best Delegate Virtual MUN Conferences? 

The Best Delegate Virtual MUN Conferences sold out every month last year! There are inherent advantages to what a virtual MUN conference can offer. Here’s why they are here to stay! 

Best for Practice and Feedback: Best Delegate Virtual MUN Conferences are great for getting practice and feedback, particularly in preparation for in-person conferences or for students who want to go above and beyond what’s offered at their school or local conferences. Students will be receiving feedback from their Chairperson, a top college Model UN leader hired by Best Delegate for their expertise and experience in bringing out the best in others. 

Best for Connecting with the World: There’s no easier way to meet like-minded students from around the world than through a Best Delegate Virtual MUN conference! The Virtual MUN conferences are also more accessible in terms of date availability, debate topic variety, and cost and time for lodging and transportation. Students can sign up on their own even if their school is not attending. 

Best for a Professional Experience: Best Delegate makes it easy to do Model UN. Advisors can trust a professional organization putting on a high quality conference and responding quickly to inquiries. Parents can easily register and pay through our system. And our world-class training and curriculum ensures students receive a consistently high-quality and educational MUN conference experience every time.
