WEMUN Expo in action.

WE Model United Nations Expo (WEMUN Expo) was established in 2007 and was one of the first high-school Model United Nations conferences in China. It has become international with delegates from around 30 different countries and with over 1500 delegates,[1] and has now grown to become the largest permanent Model UN conference in Asia.[2] The conference takes place at the Grand Epoch City Hotel in the outskirts of Beijing annually at the beginning of August.[3] The conference is unique as being the first MUN to unite nine notable high-school level conferences[1] — WEMUNC, Boston University's BeanMUN (BeanMUN), Harvard Model UN (HMUN), the Ivy League Model UN Conference (ILMUNC), Model UN of University of Chicago (MUNUC), Berkeley Model UN (BMUN), North American Invitational Model United Nations (NAIMUN), The Hague International Model UN (THIMUN), Cornell Model UN Conference (CMUNC) and Yale MUN (YMUN).
