Welcome to UCBMUN XXIX! Our names are Adinath Lane and Olivia Lapinsky, and we are incredibly excited to serve as your Secretary- General and Director-General for Best Delegate's oldest collegiate MUN conference on the West Coast. On behalf of our Secretariat and Staff, it is our pleasure to welcome you back to the InterContinental San Francisco for another exciting weekend of thought-provoking and captivating debate. We cannot wait for you to see what we have in store this year!
To ensure that UCBMUN is an accessible conference for everyone, we’ve enacted several measures to lower costs and meet the specific needs of your delegation. We offer all first-time delegations a $50 discount in their registration fee and are happy to work with your delegation, whether new or returning, to provide further financial aid upon request. To ease the costs of travel, we’ve teamed up with several major airlines, including Southwest, Alaska, and Delta, to offer discounted group travel rates. Finally, all delegations staying at the InterContinental will receive our special discounted room rate of $189/night!
Both San Francisco and Berkeley are famed for their creativity, counterculture, and commitment to justice. UCBMUN holds these ideals close to heart, creating truly innovative committees that challenge delegates to reach their full potential. Whether navigating the circuit’s first double-delegation GA Ad-Hoc or surviving the Upside Down in our Stranger Things committee, we are confident that your weekend will be both informative and exhilarating. With several Best Delegate-ranked Best Chairs and CDs, you’ll be sure to be in good hands. Our team of over 100 staffers, all with competitive experience on the circuit, is committed to fostering a weekend filled with substantive debate, inventive committee mechanics, and the opportunity to connect with your fellow delegates both inside and outside committee.
At UCBMUN, the well-being of our delegates is our utmost priority. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us at registration@mun.berkeley.edu–we are always available to address any issues that may arise. Once again, on behalf of our staff, we are beyond excited to welcome you back to the historic city of San Francisco. Join us at UCBMUN from February 27th to March 2nd, 2025 for an unforgettable weekend. We can’t wait to meet you!
Best Regards,
Olivia Lapinsky and Adinath Lane
