The McGill Model United Nations Assembly is a highly anticipated student-run conference held in the heart of downtown Montréal, Québec since 1989. Celebrating its 38th iteration this year, McMUN operates as one of the most prestigious initiatives of its kind in Canada and ranks among the top academic events at McGill University. As the largest collegiate Model United Nations conference in Canada and the second largest in North America, McMUN holds a 250-strong staffing base and attracts over 1,000 delegates from around the world to participate in lively debate. As an annual initiative, McMUN is one of the largest international conferences and high-ranking events of its kind, attracting distinguished keynote speakers such as Roméo Dallaire, former Force Commander of UNAMIR, Louise Fréchette, Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations, and Badiya al Hassan, The Princess of Jordan. For the past 37 years, McMUN has inspired innovation in the leaders of tomorrow, strengthened student engagement and awareness on global issues and has challenged our participants through realistic and creative debate. This year, McMUN 2027 will continue our tradition of being a rewarding experience for all those involved.

The last 37 years of successful conferences have been a direct result of a year of pre-conference work led by groups of ~15 students known as the Secretariat, who are conference organizers chosen to oversee every facet of the event spanning committee design, finance, IT, public relations, and delegate affairs. Under the guidance of a Secretary-General, this core team recruits and trains a much larger staff of roughly 200 student volunteers, who together welcome over 1,100 delegates from universities around the world each January. That sustained year of planning, fundraising, and logistical coordination is what has allowed McMUN to grow into the largest collegiate Model United Nations conference in Canada and one of the largest in North America, hosted at Montréal's Le Centre Sheraton and ICAO headquarters both in downtown Montréal.
