Frequently Asked Questions

when is the conference?
The conference is on Saturday, November 14, 2026. Registration will open at 8:00 AM, and closing ceremonies will end at 4:00 PM.
Where is the conference?
The conference will be hosted at Washington International School (WIS)’s Tregaron Campus, located at 3100 Macomb St. NW, Washington DC, 20008.
How do we enter WIS and how do we park?
WIS is located on Macomb Street, and is elevated. As you come down Macomb St. from Wisconsin Avenue, the School’s driveway is on the right hand side. Cars should drive up the driveway; there will be staff ready to direct you. Parking will be available for delegations’ faculty sponsors. We kindly ask that all delegates are dropped off, as there is limited parking on campus.
is lunch provided?
Yes, a catered lunch will be provided free-of-charge to all delegates and sponsors.
What is the conference dress code?
The dress code is Western Business Attire.
What is the technology policy?
WISMUNC will primarily be a tech-free conference. Delegates will receive notepads and pens.
Are position papers required?
It is our belief that delegates should be well-informed and have conducted research on their topics prior to commencing debate. Thus, position papers are required for all committees, and can be emailed to each committee’s respective chair via the emails listed in the background guides. However, only in-committee performance will be considered in awards qualifications.
What is WISMUNC’s AI and plagiarism policy?
Plagiarism: WISMUNC has a zero-tolerance policy for plagiarism. This includes using past material from other conferences, using someone else's ideas and work, and failing to give proper credit. Any case of plagiarism will disqualify a delegate from individual awards and risk expulsion from the conference. Artificial Intelligence: The use of artificial intelligence is only permitted in research and preparation of the conference, and must be cited accordingly. Otherwise, the use of AI tools is strictly prohibited. This includes when writing position papers, speeches, or any materials. Delegates are expected to author their own work. Presenting AI-generated work as one’s original work is also considered plagiarism. Additionally, at the conference, delegates should not use AI to generate resolutions, working papers, or any other written material during the committee. Any violation of these rules will automatically disqualify a delegate from individual awards and risk expulsion from the conference. If any delegate or sponsor has a question about WISMUNC's policies, you are encouraged to contact the Secretariat.
Do you have any resources for new delegates?
Yes. This document contains a sample crisis note and guidelines for crisis position papers, which we hope will be useful for new delegates.
Will sponsors have a quiet place to work?
Yes. The comfort of sponsors is a priority for us.
