Welcome to BarMUN
The Boston Area Model United Nations Conference (BarMUN) is the Boston University International Affairs Association's collegiate Model UN conference, hosted each fall at the Park Plaza Hotel in downtown Boston. BarMUN’s success demonstrates a standard of unparalleled excellence and creativity on the part of both its participants and organizers. Delegates are challenged to respond and react to the decisions and actions their peers make throughout the conference in a wide range of committees covering a variety of contemporary and historical political affairs.
BarMUN is currently ranked #5 on the collegiate circuit for competitive excellence across the school year, and delegates ranked it as their Outstanding Medium-Size Conference during the 2023-2024 season (both according to Best Delegate).
The BarMUN Secretariat looks forward to welcoming you to BarMUN XVII on October 10-13, 2024 at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza.
