Important Conference Policies

New School Referrals
We highly encourage you to recommend GatorMUN to other high schools!

Schools attending GatorMUN for the first time will receive a $100 discount.

The $55 school participation fee will be waived for schools that refer new schools to attend GatorMUN XVI. The new schools must indicate so on their registration form. 

Delegation Award Categories
With our continued wish to encourage everybody to attend, there will be three categories for delegation awards: Small, Medium, and Large. This will allow all teams to remain competitive regardless of their delegation size. 
Delegation category sizes are based on the number of differently-sized teams attending the conference. Based on previous years' numbers, the projected break down of the three categories is as follows:
  • Small Delegation - 12 and fewer
  • Medium Delegation - 13 to 24 delegates
  • Large Delegation - 25 and larger
These numbers are subject to change and will be solidified once registration closes. At that time, we will announce the category sizes to all advisors and you may add delegates so that you remain in your desired category! ​

Registration Invoices
Due to complications with our automatic invoice system in the past, we are returning to manually created invoices. Thus, you should expect a maximum of a two day delay on receiving your invoice after registering your team for GatorMUN XVI. 

We apologize for any inconvenience this creates, but this will make the entire process smoother and easier for both you as advisors and our team here.

Split Delegations

To ensure that the conference remains fair for every delegation attending, delegations are allowed to split into two teams (varsity and novice) under the following conditions: 
  1. Your delegation falls into the Large Delegation Category before AND after the split. In other words, your total delegate number must be at least 50. 
    • If you have between 50 and 74 delegates, you will be allowed to do a 1:1 split for your delegation. So, a delegation of 50 will have a varsity team of 25 and a novice team of 25. 
    • If you have greater than 75 delegates, you will be allowed to do a 1:2 split for your delegation. So, a delegation of 75 will have a varsity team of 25 and a novice team of 50. 
  2. You email us well in advance of the conference to notify us of your decision to split your team into two smaller delegations, preferably at the time of registration.
​Your overall delegation will be registered as if it was one team, but positions will be sent separately for each of the two split teams. No additional delegation fee will be required for the second team.
We hope that these changes will allow delegations that are vastly larger than the rest to have a fighting chance at placing as well as keep the conference's integrity for the smaller delegations.

Greetings from the Secretary-General
Dear Delegates and Advisors, 

It is my extraordinary pleasure to formally invite you all to the sixteenth annual Gator Model United Nations Conference (GatorMUN), held this January 25th through January 27th of 2018. GatorMUN is the largest high school Model UN conference in the southeast, offering a variety of topics and committees to challenge delegates and help them develop into global citizens. Delegates will have the opportunity to hone their public speaking skills, improve their writing, and work toward diplomatic solutions with their peers. These faculties will serve them throughout their academic career and professional lives. While GatorMUN will continue to uphold the competitive aspect of Model UN conferences, our primary goal is for delegates to learn about their place in the world, understand the implications of their actions on the future, and realize their power as educated citizens of the world.

The theme of this year’s conference is “A Seat at the Table,” a topic near and dear to my heart. The delegates, topics, and committees will be exploring the complex intersections of diversity of and within identity, for people, organizations, and nations around the world ... Continue reading
