Dear Delegates, Faculty Advisers, and Friends,

On behalf of our secretariat and staff, I could not be more honored to welcome you to the Windy City as the Secretary-General for the Thirtieth Session of ChoMUN, which will be held from Thursday, March 25, through Sunday, March 28, 2027, at the Palmer House Hilton in downtown Chicago.

Since our first conference in 1998, ChoMUN has grown into North America's largest and most competitive crisis conference. This upcoming year, ChoMUN XXX will welcome over 1,000 delegates and staff, maintaining our better-than-4:1 delegate-to-staff ratio, ensuring that each of our committees offers a personalized, competitive, and engaging committee experience.

As we celebrate our thirtieth session this year, ChoMUN remains committed to the creativity, rigor, and innovation that have defined our conference. Our staffers have shown tremendous academic dedication and conducted rigorous research to ensure that each ChoMUN XXX committee is substantive and well-crafted. Together, these committees will challenge delegates to navigate moments of upheaval, ambition, reinvention, and uncertainty across the past, the present, and the future. ChoMUN’s core, after all, is about the stories that delegates and staff get to bring to life together, and this year is as true to that core as ever. Our committees take us from the halls of the Carthaginian Senate during the Second Punic War to the boardrooms of the Walt Disney Company in 1984; from the construction of the Taj Mahal to the chaos of Malaysia’s 1MDB scandal; and from the Silk Road under the Tang Dynasty to the stars and planets of the Alpha Centauri system. 

This snapshot only scratches the surface of our offerings, and our dedicated executives and staff will work tirelessly to ensure that your delegate experience is the best one yet.
