Every conference QAS attends this year, in one place. We take part through the Doha MUN Directors network of Qatar Foundation Schools, plus the international trip to New York. There are no conferences during Ramadan or the exam periods.
Each conference takes real preparation: researching your country, writing a position paper, and practising in committee. We would rather do a few conferences well than many in a rush. That pace also protects the balance between MUN, schoolwork, and the rest of students' lives.
Audition and selection dates, and which conference is next, are posted on the MUN group on ManageBac and on posters around school, always ahead of time. Some dates and costs below are still to be confirmed and will be updated here as soon as we know more.
| Conference | Dates | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| SISQMUN | 9 to 10 October 2026 | 250 QAR per student |
| QLC | 20 to 21 November 2026 | 250 QAR per student |
| Oryx MUN Optional, because of end of term exams the week after | 10 to 12 December 2026 | To be confirmed |
| DBS AK MUN | 28 to 30 January 2027 | To be confirmed |
| February to mid-March 2027: Ramadan (about 8 February to 8 March) and Eid al-Fitr (around 9 to 12 March), so no conferences. These dates follow the lunar calendar and are approximate. | ||
| MEIS MUN For students not going to New York | 19 to 20 March 2027 | To be confirmed |
| New York | 29 March to 6 April 2027 | From 15,000 QAR per student |
| Doha MUN | 16 to 17 April 2027 (to be confirmed) | To be confirmed |
Dates and costs above come from the Doha MUN Directors network and are confirmed as each conference approaches. We confirm which conferences QAS attends, and who is going, each term.
A place in the ASA does not guarantee a seat in New York.
Selection for the New York delegation is competitive and runs across the whole year. New York is earned, not won in one audition. We look at five things:
| What we look at | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| Attendance | You come to ASA sessions and you are reliable. The delegation is built from the students who show up. |
| Progress | You improve across the year. We reward growth, not just where you started. |
| Motivation | You prepare between sessions, read around the topics, and take feedback seriously. |
| Skills | Speaking, research, writing, and how well you work inside a bloc. |
| Conduct | In New York you represent QAS abroad. We choose delegates we trust to carry that well. |
Show up. Improve. Prepare. Do that across the year and you put yourself in the room when the delegation is chosen. The students who treat every national conference and every ASA session as practice for New York are the ones who go.
