Dear Delegates, Advisors, Partners, and Friends of AUSMUN,

From the first gavel strike to the final words of the closing ceremony, AUSMUN is more than a conference — it is a platform where voices are heard, ideas are tested, and leadership is built. For nineteen years, AUSMUN has stood as one of the GCC’s leading Model United Nations conferences, bringing together delegates, advisors, sponsors, vendors, and speakers to create a unique environment of dialogue and collaboration. 

It is my privilege, as Director of External Relations for AUSMUN 2026, to invite you to the 19th Annual Conference, taking place February 13–15, 2026, at the American University of Sharjah. On behalf of the Executive Board, I extend this invitation to join us for three days of diplomacy, debate, and discovery. 

Why AUSMUN Matters
Each year, AUSMUN brings together over 1,100 participants from institutions across the UAE and abroad. Delegates sharpen their skills in negotiation, research, and public speaking while grappling with real-world issues in simulations of international bodies. Advisors witness their students stepping into roles of leadership and responsibility. Sponsors and vendors gain visibility before a vibrant audience of young leaders and educators. Guest speakers share insights that inspire and shape the next generation of changemakers. 

Our Commitment
At AUSMUN, our mission is clear: to provide a platform that is rigorous, relevant, and rewarding. For local institutions, we offer the chance to experience an international-scale conference right at your doorstep. For international delegations, we open the door to cultural exchange in one of the world’s most dynamic regions. For our partners, we provide meaningful engagement with youth and academia while amplifying your brand across a diverse and influential community.

Looking Ahead to 2026
This year’s conference will continue AUSMUN’s legacy of excellence, with carefully curated committees, timely and thought-provoking topics, and an enhanced program that ensures impact inside and outside the committee room. Beyond debate, AUSMUN fosters collaboration, builds networks, and creates experiences that leave a lasting impression.

On behalf of the AUSMUN 2026 Executive Board, I warmly invite you to be part of this year’s journey — whether as a delegate, advisor, sponsor, vendor, or speaker. Together, let us make AUSMUN 2026 not just an event, but a defining experience for all who attend.

Sincerely,
Sanjana Bharwani
Director of External Relations, AUSMUN 2026
