CONfERENCE
ABOUT THIS YEAR'S
We’re excited to welcome you to MUNAP XXI, the 21st annual Model United Nations Conference at Walter Payton College Prep! As we enter the third decade of our conference, we’re proud to present a refined and reimagined MUNAP, launching us into a new era while honoring the tradition that defines us.
This year, we’ve enhanced every aspect of the delegate experience to make MUNAP more dynamic, engaging, and forward-thinking than ever before. MUNAP XXI will be held at Walter Payton College Prep, in Chicago's historic Old Town neighborhood.
We’re also thrilled to announce that MUNAP will be a tech-enabled conference, which is designed to foster collaboration, creativity, and real-time problem-solving in a modern format.
Explore our new committees (released November 1st), connect with delegates from across the region, and join the next generation of global leaders. We can’t wait to see you at MUNAP XXI!

KEY cHANGES
Tech
Changing from no-tech to a tech-enabled conference
We decided to switch from a no-tech to a tech conference to take a more modern approach to Model UN. This change makes it easier for delegates to send crisis notes, collaborate on resolutions, and draft directives efficiently. By integrating technology, we’re creating a smoother, more realistic, and engaging experience for everyone involved.
AWARDS
Shifting from books to gavels for best delegate
Based on last year’s feedback, we’re switching from books to gavels to make awards more exciting and professional, like other top conferences. The gavel better represents leadership, diplomacy, and the spirit of Model UN.
MiDDLE SCHOOL
Seperating our middle school and high school conference
We’re separating our middle school and high school conferences to better accommodate our growing number of delegates. This change allows each event to run more smoothly and be tailored to its participants’ experience levels. The middle school conference will now take place on December 6 and will host around 200 delegates.
