SMUN I 2027

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

  • Beginner/Intermediate 
  • Perfect for first-timers or those looking to build core skills in a supportive environment with interesting topics!

  • Fast-paced, dynamic, and great for delegates ready for high-stakes decision-making and crisis response.
