Model UN Conferences by Category

 

Major US Conferences

Major competitive US conferences generally have a few common characteristics: at least 1,500 participants, 4-days long, varying committee size from small (<25) to very large (>125), and attract schools from more than 10 states, as well as international delegations.

Mid-Major Conferences

Mid-Major conferences span 3-4 days, have at least 15 hours of committee time, host between 400-1400 delegates, and attract schools from not only the region in which they are hosted but also host schools from across the country and world.

Regional Conferences

Regional conferences span 2-4 days, attract at least 20 schools (usually, but not necessarily from the region), and host between 300-900 delegates. They may be competitive but do not attract the most competitive high school teams from outside their region.

Academic Conferences

Academic conferences tend not to focus on awards or competitiveness, instead focusing on academic quality and teaching. Academic conferences can vary drastically in size and span 2 to 4 days.

Single or Double Day Conferences

Single and double day conferences provide schools with a great opportunity to get more experience and interact with different schools. Single and Double day conferences tend to have less than 200 local participants.
