NOTICE: Registration for UCBMUNC 2012 is suspended due to a large number of sign ups in the last few days. If you are still interested in signing up for UCBMUNC 2012, please contact Ahmed Osman, our Chief of Staff for External Affairs at cos-external@ucbmun.org (Posted Feb 7, 2012).
Dear Delegates and Faculty Advisors,
As UCBMUNC 2012 approaches quickly, the Secretariat is increasingly excited for the high quality of debate that we find each year. Please note the following updates:
Registration – Remaining positions at UCBMUNC 2012 are going fast! Although registration remains open until February 9, it is not complete until checks have been received by the Secretariat. Online registration without timely payment does not guarantee available spots for attending delegations. Secretariat will confirm receipt of payment.
Reservations – I encourage you to book your stay at the Hilton Financial District San Francisco. Discounted UCBMUNC rates are available until February 9. To be safe, book a day or two before to ensure the hotel has time to process any discrepancies that may arise.
Background Guides – All background guides for UCBMUNC 2012 have been posted! Background guides are posted in PDF format on each committee’s respective page.
Conference Schedule – The conference schedule is now posted. In addition, the Rules and Procedures for UCBMUNC 2012 are posted. They are linked in this post and under the “Key Links” section below.
As always, please don’t hesitate to contact me or Ahmed with any questions or concerns you may have! We look forward to welcoming your delegations to San Francisco in a short month!
Best regards,

Welcome from the Secretary-General
Dear Delegates and Faculty Advisors,
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to the UC Berkeley Model United Nations Conference 2012. The conference will be held at the Hilton San Francisco Financial District in downtown San Francisco, birthplace of the United Nations and one of the most exciting cities in the world. The four-day event will be held from March 1-4, 2012 and feature 12 committees, in Crisis, three-way Joint Crisis and the traditional General Assembly and Specialized Bodies format.
With over 320 visiting delegates and a dedicated team of 70+ Staff and Secretariat members, this conference is poised to be the best UCBMUNC so far. Delegates can choose from a variety of distinct committees ranging from the historic Bretton Woods Conference to the crisis-styled Assembly of the African Union. Making a comeback from last year, the hugely popular 3-way Joint Crisis promises to be as engaging, dramatic and memorable, and will explore the Oil Crisis of 1973.
As the largest intercollegiate conference on the West Coast, UCBMUNC 2012 not only provides a platform for intellectually stimulating debate and diplomacy on past and present global issues, but delivers a balanced MUN experience. Delegates from all over California and the United States will have the opportunity to mingle and explore the Bay Area, in our soirees and city tours. The Hilton San Francisco Financial District’s location only adds to this experience, with its proximity to Chinatown, Union Square and downtown SF.
On behalf of the Staff and Secretariat, I welcome you to UCBMUNC 2012! Conference details such as registration deadlines, committee information and updates will be available at ucbmun.org. Please do not hesitate to contact us by phone or email if you have any additional questions or concerns. We hope to see you in March!
Best regards,
Aniket Patil
