The Eighteenth Boston Area Model United Nations Conference
A BUIAA CONFERENCE
A premier conference on the collegiate Model UN circuit, the Boston Area Regional Model United Nations (BarMUN) Conference is Boston University's annual collegiate Model United Nations conference. This year, the conference will be moving for the first time to the Westin Boston Seaport District, a waterfront hotel located in the city’s financial district. The area is surrounded by the Fort Point Channel to the west, Boston Harbor to the north and east, and the historic residential neighborhood of South Boston to the south. The hotel is in walking distance of bars, restaurants, and gift shops galore, and whether you are craving top-tier Italian food from the North End or an architectural tour of Beacon Hill, the rest of Boston is but a short train ride away.
BarMUN is a branch of the Boston University International Affairs Association (BUIAA), the largest student group on the campus of Boston University. Between its branches, the Association welcomes more than 450 unique members across schools and class years. Learn more about us here.
Professionalism. Inspiration. Passion.
Our motto of "Professionalism, Inspiration, and Passion" dictates our goal to provide a truly unique conference experience for our delegates and staff, from committees to social events to accommodations, with the utmost dedication and passion towards uplifting the MUN community and serving world beyond it. We are a conference that believes in justice and equity for all, and we believe that rivers of change can begin at any source — including delegates like you.
Committees Offered:
Assemblies
BarMUN is excited to bring back its double-delegate General Assembly committee, two smaller assemblies, and a brand new legislative body. Delegates can expect a competitive and collaborative environment in a larger committee with delegates from most of BarMUN’s delegations.
Specialized Bodies
BarMUN’s Specialized Bodies are mid-sized committees that address a variety of topics and are run based on a non-traditional procedure. Each of these committees are run uniquely, with many incorporating a blend of General Assembly and crisis elements.
Crises
Crisis committees have been the crux of BarMUN from the very beginning. We prioritize a smaller sized crisis committee with heavy involvement from staff and highly engaging topics. BarMUN XVIII will also offer a joint crisis committee in addition to its two classic advanced committees, the Board of Directors and Ad Hoc.
