Asia World Model United Nations

What Asia World Model United Nations does

Asia World Model United Nations (AWMUN) is an international Model United Nations conference organizer operated by parent entity International Global Network (IGN). AWMUN runs multi-day (typically 4-day/3-night) in-person simulations of UN committees (UNESCO, UNICEF, WHO, UNWTO, UNHRC, ASEAN Regional Forum, INTERPOL) for youth aged 11-25, alongside a junior tier for ages 11-14. Conferences are hosted in rotating Asian and now European cities, with historical host venues including Seoul (AWMUN I, 2018), Bangkok (AWMUN II 2019, V 2023, VI 2023, VII 2024), Bali (AWMUN III 2019, IV 2022, VIII 2024), and planned AWMUN XV in Bali and AWMUN XVI in Bangkok for 2026.

The core technology is a web-based registration and payment platform hosted at awmun.org and modelunitednation.org, augmented by a performance-report scoring subdomain (scoring.awmun.org), an MUN Class video preparation series, an E-Book library, and a YouTube-based MUN Academy tutorial channel. There is no disclosed proprietary AI/ML or app-based platform; conferences are delivered as offline events supplemented by observer/guardian packages and installment billing.

AWMUN generates revenue primarily through delegate conference fees priced in USD, with full-accommodation delegates at $1,649 (one-time payment) or $1,669 (two-installment), and non-accommodation delegates at $1,099. Observers and guardians are billed at $1,049-$1,599. Payment is accepted via Indonesian bank transfer (BCA, CIMB, Mandiri, Maybank, BNI, Permata), digital wallets (GoPay, LinkAja), and card/PayPal. The organization is self-funded, has 41 employees, operates offices in Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, and London, and serves a globally distributed delegate base spanning 39 countries for AWMUN-specific events and 182 countries across IGN's combined MUN portfolio.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• World Federation of United Nations Associations (WFUNA): Global nonprofit that runs Model UN programs at scale through national UN associations. Indirectly comparable as a youth civic-education organizer with formal UN-affiliation credentials.
• National Model United Nations (NMUN): Largest college-level MUN conference globally, run by the UN Association of Korea/USA. Competes for the same international delegate segment, particularly university-aged participants.
• Harvard Model United Nations (HMUN): Long-running elite MUN conference run by Harvard students. Targets the same high-school/early-college international delegate pool but operates at the high end of pricing and prestige.
• THIMUN Foundation (The Hague International Model United Nations): One of the world's most established MUN conference series affiliated with The Hague. Comparable as a high-tier international MUN conference targeting high-school youth globally; a benchmark competitor for premium positioning.

Direct peers

• European Model United Nations (EuroMUN): Europe-based MUN conference that attracts international youth delegates. Comparable product format and target audience, but operates in Europe rather than Asia.
• IMUNA (International Model United Nations Association): Operates multiple international MUN conferences (e.g., IMUN, HMUN India, NAIMUN). Directly comparable in targeting international youth with multi-city conferences.
• Asia Youth International Model United Nations (AYIMUN): Sister MUN conference also operated by International Global Network (parent IGN). Targets the same 11–25 youth demographic across identical Asian host cities (Bangkok, Bali, KL, Geneva), making it the closest direct comparable.

Others

• Best Delegate (Model UN resources and training): Leading MUN training, resources, and conference-listing platform. Comparable as an adjacent ecosystem enabler serving the same delegate population with educational content.

Emerging players

• MUN Command (mymun): Digital MUN platform offering preparation content, conference discovery, and community. Founded/run by an AWMUN board member; overlaps on the educational-preparation side of the value chain.
• Global Model United Nations (GlobalMUN): Smaller international MUN conference series targeting university students. Comparable product format but at smaller scale and with a more academic tilt.
