What should I expect from a Seekonk High School Conference?
New attendees to the conference should expect a more laid-back experience that is targeted towards helping new members get used to the Model UN scene, as well as allowing veteran members to gain experience in a joint-crisis committee. As a smaller conference, it is our goal to provide each delegate with a more personalized experience that will help develop their presentation skills, ability to work efficiently with others, and awareness of current or historic problems.
