How I get access to hotel rooms?

Hotel rooms are booked at the Marriott Copley, our partner hotel, through our discounted hotel bloc. To access the discounted room rates, schools need to fill out a form that we send to schools who have registered and then send the form to a hotel email that we also provide to schools. Once schools have completed the registration process, they will receive an email with next steps that includes all of this hotel information

I see that BosMUN has reached capacity, should I still register?

Thanks to the incredible interest we have seen from delegations, we have reached capacity as of mid-November. That being said, we have opened the waitlist for all schools still wishing to register. To join the waitlist, please fill out the same registration form that is available on the BosMUN website. If you are pulled from the waitlist, we will reach out to you to confirm registration, after which you will receive an email with next steps, including the committee preference form and instructions to access hotel rooms.

We highly recommend that schools fill out the registration form to join the waitlist, as Secretariat is working tirelessly to accommodate as many additional delegates as possible. Waitlisted schools will be pulled up if registered schools drop or if our efforts to expand the conference can accommodate them.

What does the registration fee cover?

Registration fees cover attendance to BosMUN as well as all materials for the conference, including folders, placards, name tags, pens, etc. that we provide for delegates. Hotel accommodations must be reserved separately through the hotel form we provide to registered schools. Travel and food are entirely up to the responsibility of delegations. However, we will provide an advisor meal for all advisors to socialize with one another and members of Secretariat. Fees also cover participation in the conference socials, training programs on Friday, and professional opportunities at BosMUN.

How trained should delegates be for BosMUN?

BosMUN prides itself as a training conference for all. We welcome all experience levels in MUN and have dedicated staff who will be willing to help direct delegates. That being said, we also provide a number of other opportunities for delegates who may require more assistance. Firstly, we offer a training session in both General Assembly and Crisis procedures on Friday, taught by members of leadership for our competitive MUN team, ranked #4 in the World Division. Secondly, we offer Novice committees in each of the four categories, where dais members are instructed to provide basic teaching points as committee progresses, walking delegates through the procedure. All we ask is that all delegates come to BosMUN with some research and a positive attitude!

What is the awards structure at BosMUN?

We are excited to announce that we are instituting a number of changes to the BosMUN awards structure to recognize delegates who have gone above and beyond in their committees. As always, all committees will have a Best Delegate, Outstanding Delegates, and Honorable Mentions proportional to their size. However, Position Paper Awards will no longer be given and Verbal Commendations will be replaced with Diplomatic Commendations, which are weighted the same but will be printed out so that all awarding delegates have the opportunity to receive a physical award for their merit.

Is there a W-9 for BosMUN?

Yes! You can access our W-9 form here.

What next steps do I have after registering?

Please fill out the committee preferences form if your delegates have any preferred committee. Also, please fill out the housing form if you are interested in staying at the hotel. Most importantly, please pay and fill out the acknowledgement form!

What should I do if the amount of delegates I have has changed?

Please fill out the registration adjustment form!

How can I pay?

We prefer if you could mail the check, if not then please Venmo us at @treasurer-buiaa ((917) 256-9871).

What should I do if I have any questions about the amount I owe, whether my check has arrived, or any other payment issues that are not covered in this FAQ?

If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to email our Director of Finance at finance@bosmun.org!

When can I fill out the delegate placement sheet?
