What makes NAIMUN an exciting and dynamic experience for students every year is its wealth of conference features. The conference’s location in Washington, DC provides exposure to the world of international relations on a practical level that would be impossible to experience anywhere else in the world.

Embassy Briefings
As the hub of international politics, many embassies in DC welcome our students for briefings and information sessions about the day’s hot topics. The opportunity for the delegates to meet their actual counterparts in the field is an invaluable experience for many delegates.

Speakers
The real shakers and movers are inside the Beltway, and we go to great lengths to bring them to NAIMUN. From high-ranking ambassadors, to former CIA lawyers, and Ban Ki-moon the Secretary-General of the UN itself, NAIMUN has an excellent record of bringing the most engaging and important speakers to address our delegates.

Georgetown Tours
A trip to DC wouldn’t be complete without visiting the gorgeous hilltop neighborhood of Georgetown. With guided tours of Georgetown University, the conference is infused with a taste of the Hilltop, from which all of the staff hails. Delegates can enjoy a tour of the historic campus and discover the ever active, boutique packed M street strip.

Monuments and Museums
The District is also a beautiful display of history, with monuments and museums that brighten the city's skyline and its heritage. Students will have the time to tour the many wonderful sights all around of the city. An organized tour of the Phillips Gallery lead by the Georgetown Art Aficionados will give delegates a brief glimpse of the immense culture the city has to offer.

Hilltop Madness and the Delegate Dance
The experience of NAIMUN has just as much a social aspect as it does academic. On Friday night will be Hilltop Madness bringing all of the outstanding dance and performance groups of Georgetown to perform exclusively for our delegates. Saturday night will be the most anticipated event of every NAIMUN: the Conference Dance!

Community Service Project
NAIMUN believes in giving back to the community and as a part of expanding our delegates’ global perspective, we’d like to sharpen their local one as well. A voluntary Friday morning community service project is arranged for the students to get active and broaden their experience in social justice.

Dupont Circle
Location, location, location! Not only is NAIMUN in Washington, DC, but also it’s in Dupont Circle, the most active and vibrant part of the city. From the hundreds of restaurants and cafes, to the many shops and boutiques, Dupont is the place to be on the weekends for any Washingtonian, and has a host of wonderful places to explore during the delegates’ lunch and dinner breaks.

Each and every aspect and feature of NAIMUN XLVI is geared toward providing our delegates with the most exciting and fulfilling experiences, and we're confident that NAIMUN weekend will be a highlight in your school year.
