About

Against the Tempest: Steering Diplomacy Through Uncertain Waters

The UK's Only Maritime Conference

SOTONMUN is back this year with a new date, and dedicated Maritime theme.  

Building on the experience of three past conferences, this year's SOTONMUN is the largest its' been so far, tackling historical topics and SOTON's first ever Crisis committee.  SOTONMUN at its' core aims to bring a conference that emphasises a professional image, branding, and organisation, all while maintaining a relaxed atmosphere where fun and delegate value for money is at the heart.

This year, we're helped by some fantastic and well known chairs from around the UK circuit, with a total of 5 committees, with some intense debate, cheap delegate fees, cheap drinks in our city, and a perfect blend of seriousness and fun, what's not to love?
