Welcome to SSUNS 2026.
Welcome to SSUNS 2026! My name is Marcus C. Kelly and I have the pleasure of serving as the Secretary-General of SSUNS 2026, the 34th iteration of our conference.
Each November, our conference executes a tremendous mandate. Our team, run by 250+ MUN-trained McGill University students, carries out one of Canada’s, and the world's, largest and most prestigious Model United Nations conferences. Working for months, the SSUNS staff curates a conference weekend full of collaboration, leadership, education, and healthy competition in a bid to execute a values-based experience - one that can set the tone for how students, delegates, and leaders interact in their budding journeys.
CONFERENCE STANDARD
Committee Design
Distinct rooms, offering unique experiences
Each committee is built to feel genuinely different, from pace, difficulty, and style of debate, delegates in each committee are curating their own experience and challanging themselves to excel.
Advisor Support
Clear milestones throughout the entire process
Advisors get a straightforward run-of-show: what matters when, where to be, and who to contact if anything shifts. We want to make supervising at SSUNS as easy as possible.
Hospitality
Polished and up to standards
From arrival to plenary moments to the in-between committee sessions, SSUNS is designed to give delegates a professional, dignified, and easy to navigate experience.
Featured Committees
A curated programme, presented like a dossier.
From first-committee confidence building to technical strategy rooms, SSUNS is designed as a portfolio of experiences rather than a single repeated format.

Land Acknowledgement
SSUNS 2026 will be held at the Sheraton Hotel, with preparatory work accomplished at McGill University. Both sites are located in Montréal, known as Tiohti:áke to the Kanien'kehá:ka Nation, a founding nation of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. This territory is unceded; not surrendered, not purchased, and not resolved by any legal or moral framework we can point to with integrity. The sovereignty of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe nations was never extinguished. It has simply gone unrecognized by the colonial states that displaced them and the political and economic structures that have continued to benefit from that displacement.
