#AMUN2017: The Year in Review

We’ve made it! Another year, another conference in the books.

AMUN 2017 was the 28th Conference and a fantastically successful one, thanks in large part to the hard work of our representatives, faculty advisors, and staff members. We thought we’d wrap up 2017 with a quick review of the year and your accomplishments.

  • 1450 student attendees
  • 581 Guidebook downloads
  • 159 e-mail contacts for faculty advisors and permanent representatives
  • 150 registered countries
  • 121 AMUN staff members
  • 95 countries already assigned for AMUN 2018
  • 86 information requests fulfilled by Home Government
  • 83 UN lapel pins sold
  • 73 total registered schools
  • 65 resolutions passed by various committees and councils
  • 41 background briefs written for the Issues at AMUN handbook

  • 9 presidential statements issued by the Security Council and Historical Security Councils
  • 6 reports issued by the Commission of Experts on Public Administration, the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, and the Historical Commission of Inquiry of 1948

And with that, the Accords is going to take a month-long hiatus. We’ll see you again in February to bring you new, relevant and innovative Model UN content. In the meantime, take a look at our archives and take your best guesses at the topics we’ll be simulating in 2018. You might also think about writing a blog post or essay for the AMUN Accords. It’s a great way to stay connected to the MUN community throughout the year. We’d love to add you as a guest author!

From all of us here at AMUN, congratulations on a great 2017 and good luck as 2018 rolls in!
