The person I talk to the most during the whole week is Matilde. And I am not just talking about a pair of messages, I am talking from 8 am to like 2 in the morning. And yes, if you are wondering, we are probably plotting our next social media strategy. 

You are probably reading this because you are planning the first edition of your conference or redesigning the logo of your MUN association. Logos are the essence of a MUN conference/association.
