1
What should I bring to the conference?
You don't need to bring much, but we would suggest the following:
-
​A small notepad for notetaking or speechwriting
-
Pens and/or pencils for notetaking, writing messages, or jotting down ideas
-
Any notes/research you may have (ie. position papers or rules of procedure documents)
-
A cell phone/laptop to draft working papers and resolutions
-
Water and lunch (if you do not plan on buying it)
-
And of course, excitement for MUN!

What should I do the night before the conference?
First of all, don't fret! Accept that you will make mistakes, and know that whether you are successful at the conference or not, you came out of it a better person than when you went in. On a more practical note, make sure you have all your notes and research in order and printed out, and confirm the location/times. Most importantly, get a good night's sleep; at this point, an extra hour of research won't help you much.
