Hellooooo, delegates! With conference just around the corner, I wanted to use this as a space to say thank you for all of your amazing position papers! We understand that this committee is unorthodox, and we're extremely grateful for the effort you all have put into this. I've received a few emails about this, so I'll briefly outline the flow of committee here: You will be representing yourself, so feel free to introduce yourselves by name to the dais and to your fellow delegates. The dais will be acting as venture capitalists—or the "sharks" from Shark Tank . At the end of committee, we will be evaluating your developed business pitches and awarding you with however much we think it's worth. Because we have an open-tech policy, we highly encourage you all to bring your electronic devices; however, we would prefer if you were to do your research and work on a laptop or tablet as opposed to your phone.

Hi Delegates, Conference is two days away! We have enjoyed reading your position papers and giving feedback so if you have not already, we highly encourage you to go over our feedback. If you would like any further clarification, sign up for office hours or feel free to shoot us an email. If you are unable to sign up for office hours, we hope to cover from frequently asked questions to help you feel better prepared: 1) What will committee procedure be like?

We highly encourage you to take a look at this blog post for more information. We will be starting Friday's committee session with more information and an opportunity to ask questions so keep that in mind! 2) What should our business pitches look like? Ans: Your initial pitches should try to synthesize your position paper into a c...
Hi, delegates! We are so excited to welcome you to BMUN 72 and the BVC committee. In this committee, you will be learning the basics of business, collaborating with your fellow delegates, and eventually pitching your business to the dais. Our main topic addresses improving healthcare accessibility . This blog will act as our committee’s more informal avenue for discussion and communication before the conference– and we’d love to see you interact with it! The purpose of this blog is to (1) allow you to actively engage with the content of this committee and (2) give you all the opportunity to learn about other countries’ policies before the debate actually starts. You can post comments on posts that we make and write about literally anything relevant to the topics at hand! For example, if you’ve found follow-up content or research you’d like to share, would like to discuss your country’s opinion on the topic, or have other ideas in mind, this blog is the place for that! Please write fro...
