The 12^th Annual Global Classrooms International Model UN Conference (GCIMUN), sponsored by the United Nations Association of the United States of America’s Global Classrooms® program, will be held on May 12 – 14, 2011.  Last year’s conference boasted attendance by delegates from over a dozen states and 20 countries.  The three-day conference was held at United Nations Headquarters and the Grand Hyatt Hotel in mid-town Manhattan, and featured both Opening and Closing Ceremonies in the General Assembly Hall of the UN.

This year's conference can host more than 2300 students and 19 committees, covering diverse and pressing international issues such as democratic governance, aging populations, harmful substances and hazardous wastes, humanitarian and natural disasters, and the situation in Iraq. This year's General Assembly Regional committee will look at sport for peace and development in the wake of the 2010 World Cup and the upcoming 2012 Olympics in London. The 2011 GCI MUN conference will provide an authentic simulation of the United Nations in a highly professional setting and the chance for delegates to debate with thousands of students from across the country and around the globe.
