Goal of the Conference Rankings and Reviews
The primary goal of our conference rankings and reviews is to give US high school Model UN teams and organizations a valuable resources when selecting which conferences to attend. With only conference recaps currently available, the reviews and rankings we will provide starting in 2014 will give high schools unparalleled access to conferences across the country.
It is not our goal to persuade schools to attend a certain type of conference nor is it a goal of ours to influence the ways in which conferences are run. We have developed our methodology to exemplify key differences between conferences so that schools may find the best match to the experience they wish their students to receive.
Methodology
We have broken our reviews of conferences into four major components: (1) Academic Quality (50%), (2) Transparency (20%), (3) Conference Experience (20%), and (4) Operations and Logistics (10%). You may read our full methodology explanation here.
