Planning and Prep

General Steps to Attend KeysMUN

Register! Note, Beginner committees are full and we only have one or two Intermediate spots. We challenge delegates to try Advanced, if they have some experience.
Receive your country/committee assignments and invoice from our email, keysmun@keysschool.org, which should be sent from us in less than a week after your registration. Invoices are typically due in two weeks after you receive them.
Pay with the invoice, and start researching your country! Read the background guide, which has overviews on the issues relevant to each committee, as well as general background info. Make sure you familiarize yourself with your committee.
Sign the liability form/permission slip, which will be sent after you pay your invoice. A receipt will be included. Email the filled form to keysmun@keysschool.org. (note: we are pretty busy right now, but this email will arrive before the week of the conference.)
If you are in an intermediate or advanced committee, write your position paper, which is due 10/21, 11:59 PM. Please see the Position Papers page for information on this, which includes a guide and template.
Pack for the conference, with the information below, and prepare your one-minute opening speech. There are many resources online for tips on how to write an effective MUN opening speech.
On October 25 and 26, go to Keys School and enjoy KeysMUN III! More information on schedule is on our main Conference Info page.

What should you wear?

No delegate will be turned away for not having the "right attire." However, UN traditionally follows "Western business attire." We encourage delegates to do their best in keeping with the ecological values of the conference: repurpose, borrow, and if needed, buy used before buying new clothing.

Boys:

Blazer/Jacket
Tie
Dress shirt/Button shirt
Formal pants (not jeans or shorts)
Dress shoes (not sports shoes or sandals)

Girls:

Blouse or dress shirt
Blazer/Jacket
Formal Pants or skirt
Flats or other formal shoes

What should you bring?

What you will need

Reusable water bottle
Laptop
Copy of your 1 minute (opening) speech
Blank paper to write/pass notes (we strongly encourage you to bring used paper where one side of the paper is still blank/usable)
Pencil and highlighter
Digital copies of your position paper (needed for intermediate and advanced committees only) and other digital research notes
As a climate conference, we encourage delegates to use recycled paper for their resource binder containing the background guide, facts, notes, speeches, procedure, etc, or go digital.

What you might want to bring

Snack (can also be purchased on campus)

There are restaurants nearby for purchasing lunch. However, if you do not wish to do that, you may bring your own lunch.

Note this is a zero waste conference, anything that cannot be recycled or composted must be carried out by the delegate, so please pack minimizing waste.
