About

The Washington Area Model United Nations Conference is a four-day conference for high school students put on by the IAS that is held annually in the spring. This year will be our Eleventh Annual Conference. WAMUNC is a conference that is unique for its location and its wide variety of committees.

Location is key with WAMUNC, as the conference, held conveniently on the GW campus, is close enough to several important buildings, including the IMF, the EU, the OAS, and the Saudi Arabian Embassy, where delegates have had the opportunity to have committee sessions. In recent years, committees have included the Rwanda Peacekeeping Core Group, a Humanitarian Crisis Committee, and the Formation of the United Nations. We plan to include traditional and creative committees like these at WAMUNC XI.

We're expecting over 700 students from around the world to attend this year's conference, which will make it our largest WAMUNC to date. In order to run the conference well, we will need about 120 volunteers to serve as Chairs, Vice-Chairs, and crisis staff. Every year, WAMUNC staffers have a lot of fun, and get many opportunities to meet and work alongside other IAS members.
