Delegate Handbook 2025

What is the delegate handbook?

The delegate handbook acts as a passport for the delegates, it includes all important links, points of contact, resources, information about the conference, and more! If you have any questions about what you should be doing, or where you should be at any point during the conference, then this should be the first thing you check!

Secretary General Welcome Address:

Dear Delegates, Faculty Advisors, Staff, and Partners,

I am overjoyed to invite you to the 18th iteration of the University of Toronto Model United Nations conference! My name is Keerat Gill, and I am humbled to serve as the Secretary-General of this historic and esteemed conference. On behalf of the entire Secretariat, I am eager to welcome you to this year's event for what we are sure will be a memorable experience for all.

UTMUN has long been committed to providing a safe, informative and innovative learning environment where delegates may debate passionately and collaborate productively. At our conference, delegates immerse themselves in the worlds of international politics and approach complex questions of global significance with compassion and curiosity. From our diverse committee topics, to our engaging delegate events, and ongoing mission to provide enrichment and opportunity to students, UTMUN is a space where everyone—irrespective of background, experience, or interests—is made welcome to learn, grow and find community.

Both during and after committee sessions, I hope our attendees explore, experience, and indulge in the creative liberties that Model UN allows. I sincerely encourage delegates to seize the opportunity to develop skills, friendships, and memories while joining us at UTMUN in February 2025. Travel through history, create foreign policy, and unravel the world's mysteries. Delegates, the world is your oyster, and may UTMUN be your stage.

The conference you experience is due in no small part to the incredible effort showcased by the UTMUN Secretariat and committee staff. We are privileged to have some of the most brilliant, talented, and passionate individuals from the University of Toronto curating this monumental event for our attendees. I have no doubt you will feel the love, care and attention that they’ve invested into our conference.

I am absolutely thrilled for what we have in store for you for UTMUN 2025. Until then, should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at sg@utmun.org.

Warmest Regards,

Keerat Gill

UTMUN 2025 Secretary-General
