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.
