The proposed date for the conference is December 2-4, 2010. All FOBISSEA MUN schools are invited to send teams of delegates, from more experienced students to those seeking to take part in their first MUN conference.

The conference will be held at the BISV secondary campus and the Saigon Exhibition and Conference Centre in HCMC, Vietnam. Forums to be included are: General Assembly, Human Rights Council, ECOSOC and a Special Conference on World Health. There will also be the opportunity for students to become members of the FOBISSEA MUN Press team, as journalists, editors, cartoonists and photographers.
