About

Fostering Collaboration and Diplomacy

Welcome to the Inaugural Sterling Model United Nations Championship Conference!

We're excited to launch this new, inclusive Model UN experience right here in the Austin area — open to 7th–11th graders in Texas!

Run by Sterling's best, this conference is a MUST if you're in the Austin/Leander area (This conference is invitation only, so talk to your sponsors  and shoot us an email to see if you can come)

This year's theme: Fostering Collaboration and Diplomacy

Model UN isn't just about delivering the strongest speech — it's about building the strongest coalitions, listening actively, and finding common ground through respectful diplomacy. Whether you're new to MUN or have some experience, this conference emphasizes teamwork and creative problem-solving.

Conference Dates & Times: April/May TBD

Committees (Details will be given upon your acceptance into this conference):

  • Standard Committee — The World Health Organization
    • Beginner/Intermediate 
    • Perfect for first-timers or those looking to build core skills in a supportive environment with interesting topics!
  • Crisis Committee —The Takeover of The Guild (a fabulous fictional Crisis made by our own Head of Crisis, full of betrayal, secrets, and sabotage!)
    • Intermediate/Advanced 
    • Fast-paced, dynamic, and great for delegates ready for high-stakes decision-making and crisis response.

Background Guides and Resource kits are out now and are available once you sign up!

We can't wait to see you there — let's foster some real collaboration and diplomacy together! 🌍✨

    How this committee type works

  • 17 countries

    The year is 2035. The Guild has risen up and taken over seven countries, with America in its sights. Led by Jin Oyakata, its goal is simple: to create a world that is safe and completely under his control. While some (though not all) officials see joining him as their best option, the resistance movement Realtex, led by John Baxter, fights against The Guild, viewing it as a global threat to everything nations once stood for. So, will you allow this vast superpower to take over—or will you stand with the red, white, and blue?? Note: full-out assasinations will not be permitted, but removal of characters in other ways is still allowed
