How We're Different

At the core of the CIMUN philosophy is a strong focus on realism and innovation, with our primary goal being the accurate portrayal of the challenges faced by real-life diplomats and politicians. All committees at CIMUN feature a fully-integrated crisis simulation, forcing delegates to think on their feet and work as a team between multiple committees to solve demanding international problems. The result is an unconventional conference that immerses students in a global context, and makes CIMUN a truly one of a kind Model UN experience.

What Makes CIMUN Unique:

• Fully Integrated Committees
  Students are able to work together across committees as national delegations.

• Interactive Crisis Simulations in All Committees
  Challenging scenarios and live updates keep delegates thinking on their feet.

• Diverse and Talented Staff
  Our staff is drawn from over 50 top universites around the world.

• Extensive Use of Media and Technology (Check Out Our Videos)
  Highlights include a real-time news ticker, and even a student run TV news station. 

• Prime Location in Downtown Chicago
  Our AAA Four Diamond hotel is just minutes from many of the city's top sights.
   
• Only Major Conference to Feature a Full Opening Banquet
  No need to worry about dinner Thursday night.

This year, our conference will feature 19 committees, most with 15 delegates or less, and a historical Cold War simulation set in 1989 that will place students in key decision-making roles as the foundations of the bipolar world begin to crumble. Our unique simulation-driven model gives delegates in all committees the opportunity to make world-shaping decisions in real time, and requires them to think critically beyond the bounds of any one topic to best represent their national interests.
