Preparing for LIMUN
We understand that preparing for MUN conferences, especially conferences as big as LIMUN, can get daunting for beginner and experienced delegates alike. We pride ourselves in offering the best possible academic experience for our delegates, and as such, the University Conference Secretariat has put together a series of guides that should help demystify the conference process. On this page, you will find our official and most authoritative set of rules governing the conduct of debate, called the LIMUN Rules of Procedure. You will also find a set of guides on producing high-impact written submissions and preparing for MUN debates through research.
As a delegate, you will also get exclusive access to pre-conference webinars during which our Academics Team will run you through the Rules of Procedure and everything you need to know to excel at LIMUN 2026.
Conference Handbook
Our Conference Handbook contains all information you need for this coming weekend! Please ensure that you flip through it before Friday to review the registration process, the panels you can attend and all our venues.
Logistics Handbook
To help you plan your trip to London for LIMUN 2026, we’ve prepared a Logistics Handbook featuring all key venues and our official hotel partners, where exclusive delegate discounts are available.
