History

Nearly 3 decades ago, UC Berkeley Model United Nations’ annual conference began with the goal of inspiring college students to challenge themselves in the realm of policy-based problem solving. Since then, UCBMUN has provided delegates a forum in which to discuss the most urgent and pressing contemporary issues, while also giving them the opportunity to learn from our past. The 29th iteration of UCBMUN is the culmination of years pushing the boundaries on civic engagement and duty, helping create and inspire change-makers that will mold the future of humanity. Over all these years, UCBMUN has risen to become one of the most prestigious conferences on the West Coast as well as in the United States as a whole. Sitting in the heart of San Francisco, UCBMUN has consistently drawn from its historic surroundings and given delegates experiences to last a lifetime. This year shall be no exception.

Committees

UCBMUN XXIX features 15 unique committees that vary in terms of time, space, as well as theme. Delegates can expect fast paced, historical crises mixed in with substantive as well as current general assemblies for a perfect mix of committee experiences. Our specialized bodies also offer a challenging set of issues that will provide for not only contentious debate, but also the rise of innovative, thought-provoking solutions.

Location

UCBMUN XXIX is located in Union Square, the center of San Francisco. Delegates can explore a number of SF's attractions including Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, and Ghirardelli Square or experience San Francisco's nightlife, which is second to none. For a more educational experience, delegates are encouraged to visit the site of the UN Charter just five minutes away from the hotel. Delegates can also explore San Francisco's world-famous cuisine while walking down the Embarcadero. All of these amazing attractions are within 2 miles of the conference venue.

Staff

UCBMUN features a team of around 100 staff members, all with competitive experience on the circuit. This means that each and every staffer, from Chairs to Assistant Crisis Directors, has a full understanding of Model UN rules of procedure and best practices. Our staffers study a wide variety of majors and concentrations, but are all united by a common passion for Model UN and policy. Our staff could not be more prepared to host the 29th edition of this conference.
