What SASMUN IX is about
SASMUN IX provides delegates of all experience levels an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the world and develop their public speaking, collaboration, and research skill sets for Model United Nations. The conference will be held in person at the Singapore American School campus on Saturday, October 10, 2026. Delegates will work together in using their understanding of equity and representation to address underrepresented voices and resolve global discourse. As nations across the globe grapple with current crises, it is up to the delegates to enhance equity and representation, ensuring every voice is heard.
Letter from the Secretariat
Dearest SASMUN IX community,
It is with great pleasure to welcome you all to SASMUN IX, or the ninth iteration of Singapore American School’s annual Model United Nations conference. Following SASMUN’s success in previous years, the Secretariat team is excited and honored to welcome a diverse collection of participants for a day of fruitful debate.
The theme of SASMUN IX is “Equity and Representation: Elevating Underrepresented Voices in Global Discourse.” Across the globe, nations have faced various conflicts throughout the course of time. Often, many nations that are affected by such discourse aren't given the opportunity to represent their stances. There has been a pattern of recurring ignorance and inequality, requiring an immediate response. We must address the perspectives of underrepresented nations in order to shape a better future.

Regarding these topics, we are delighted to be entertaining eleven distinct special and general committees, two of which for middle schoolers and the remaining nine for high school students (or equivalent). It is our pleasure to hold the first SASMUN conference with dedicated middle school committees, composed of delegates from across Singapore and chairs experienced with the age group. In a world battling polarization and countless crises, we aim to nurture younger students interested in diplomacy and current events. Each commitee, whether for middle or high schoolers, offers delegates the chance to discuss some of the world’s most significant issues from the present and past.
Finally, we’d like to extend a special thank you to all who are part of the SASMUN IX community. To all the delegates, student officers, and advisors, this conference wouldn’t be happening without your trust and support. Coming all the way to our Woodlands campus for a Saturday of resolution-writing and debate isn’t something everyone is willing to do, and your passionate engagement is what makes our efforts worth it.
We strongly believe that Model UN is an extraordinary platform for individuals to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills in the hopes of a more peaceful Earth, so see you at SASMUN IX!
Thank you,
SASMUN IX Secretariat
