Concordia Global Affairs Association (CGAA)

What Concordia Global Affairs Association (CGAA) does

Concordia Global Affairs Association (CGAA) is a Quebec-based non-profit association that operates ConMUN, an annual four-day collegiate Model United Nations conference held in Montreal, Canada. Founded in 2018 by the Concordia External Delegation Team (CED) of Concordia University, the organization targets college and university students aged 17-25 interested in international relations, debate, and diplomacy. CGAA operates as the parent entity with ConMUN as its core subsidiary activity, and the conference is overseen by a student secretariat with dedicated functions for general inquiries, delegate registration, hotel/logistics, committees, events, and finance/sponsorships.

The core product is ConMUN 2027, scheduled for March 18-21, 2027, which assembles six crisis committees, two specialized agencies, and three general assemblies into a single multi-committee event. The technology stack is minimal: the conference website is built on Squarespace, registration uses self-serve checkout plus a third-party integration with the mymun.com MUN marketplace, and no proprietary platform, mobile app, API, or AI/ML capability is disclosed. The DoubleTree by Hilton Montreal serves as the official venue and accommodation partner at a discounted rate of $229 CAD per night.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through ticket sales: tiered delegate registration fees of $115 (early), $135 (regular), and $145 (late) CAD, plus a $100 CAD delegation fee for groups of four or more. The organization is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no Subsidiaries beyond ConMUN. It is recognized as a Top 10 Model UN conference worldwide and its organizing team is ranked #15 globally by Best Delegate.
