Virtual Conference Frequently asked questions
Below you will find answers to frequently asked questions about our virtual iteration of EagleMUNC. We will provide answers to further questions as decisions are made and plans are finalized. Please email pr@eaglemunc.org if you have any questions.
General Questions
What Platform will EagleMUNC be using for the conference?
We will be using a platform called Cadence along with Zoom.
Cadence is an all-inclusive virtual event platform that combines everything into one easy-to-use website. Committee sessions will take place via Zoom, and the Zoom links can be found on our event page on Cadence. Prior to the conference, all attendees will be sent a link to register on Cadence for our event.
Google Docs will be used to write resolutions and directives. If delegates do not have a Gmail account, we suggest that they create one before the conference.

Before the Conference
Our delegates have not been able to meet regularly, should we still register?
Yes! We will hold an optional delegate training before the Opening Ceremony on Friday March 26th. This will be a great opportunity for all delegates to learn about committee procedures for our conference. Delegates should not be worried about the amount of practice they have had. Since we are having a virtual conference for the first time, everyone will be learning how to translate committee procedures to a virtual platform.
Have there been changes to the fees and deadlines?
Yes. We have reduced our Delegate and Delegation fees, both to $45. If you have already paid the original amount, we will send you a refund to reflect the new cost. For those who have registered in January or earlier, the deadline for sending your payment is February 1, 2021. We are happy to work with delegations on an individual basis if an extension is needed.
Where can I send suggestions regarding the virtual conference?
Please feel free to send any suggestions that you may have regarding the virtual conference to our Secretary-General, Christiane Paulhus, at sg@eaglemunc.org. We greatly value your input.
During the Conference
What will committee sizes be?
While we cannot say an exact number for committee sizes as of yet, since registration is still open, it is expected that committees will be smaller than they have been in the past. This will allow for closely monitored committee sessions and more engaging debate. We have discovered that students are more inclined to participate virtually in smaller settings.
How should advisors coordinate with their delegates during the conference?
We are strongly suggesting that advisors have their students together during the course of the conference weekend, if possible. This will ensure that delegates are focused in committee sessions.
What will the camera policy be?
We are requiring that students leave their cameras on unless they need to use the restroom.
WHAT HAPPENS IF A DELEGATE HAS TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES DURING THE CONFERENCE?
There will be a zoom room that will serve as a help desk. There will be staff there to help troubleshoot technical problems you may be having.
WHAT IF I NEED TO CONTACT SOMEONE ON THE STAFF DURING THE CONFERENCE?
There will be a zoom room that will serve as a help desk. There will be Public Relations and Administration staff available to help solve issues and answer questions you may have. You can also email pr@eaglemunc.org.
In Committee
How Will moderated Caucuses be run?
Instead of raising a physical placard, we will be using the raise hand function on zoom.
How will unmoderated caucuses be run?
There will be breakout rooms. Delegates will be able to choose which breakout room to enter. Please make sure to have Zoom updated in order to be able to choose between breakout rooms.
How can i pass notes to crisis staffers?
You can direct message one of the simulations staffer.
How can I pass notes to other delegates?
You can direct message the delegate on zoom.
Delegate Training
We will be holding an optional delegate training before the Opening Ceremony on Friday, March 26. This will be a great opportunity for all delegates to learn about committee procedures for our conference! This training can help students who have not been able to attend regular Model UN meetings at school.
The delegate training will be run by the Eagle Global Leadership Initiative, our community outreach branch of the Eagle Institute. They will cover procedures for each type of committee: General Assemblies, hybrid committees, and crisis committees.
