Dearest Participants, Honourable Chairs, Distinguished Delegates and Esteemed Guests,

 

It is an honour to invite you to our beloved conference, to BIGMUN 2026. This year is the 14th annual BIGMUN, and we are working tirelessly to make it as unforgettable as previous years. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be leading this conference, and to hopefully become an inspiration to you, just as the previous Secretary Generals were to me. 

 

BIGMUN is an event I look forward to every year, it is an event where I've gained friends for life and experiences I will never forget. At BIGMUN we promote dedication and commitment, but most of all we aim to support and boost young souls, who wish to fulfil achievements in the future. It is our goal to teach young students to fight for their values and voice their opinions with confidence. We wish to make BIGMUN a building block of the next generation of young diplomats and achievers, and to be a part of future of democracy and debating.

 

The theme, Building Bridges Beyond Borders, to me means to gather at a point where we can all come to an agreement, where we all can feel comfortable, an elevated point from where we can see reason. Our Bridges are not just meaningless cobble stone, they're strong bricks, built from democracy, strong morales and hard work, they are meant to allow us to step up and beyond the issues of the world, to solve them and further a united cause. We do not aim to put our nationalities aside, but to bring them together to unite and prosper side by side.

 

The vast variety of topics this year aim to promote fascinating and inspiring debates across all 14 committees, debates that will help to build a world of great opportunity and motivation. I certainly look forward to witnessing many immaculate debates, and I sincerely hope that every delegate and Student Officer approach their topics with just as much enthusiasm as I feel for this year’s conference. I am extremely excited to see all the beautiful and professional faces, ready to take a stand on behalf of their country and do their very best to make their peers proud. And I am thrilled to think about every participant pull their weight and have fun at BIGMUN 2026.

 

I am proud of this conference and of the traditions made here, and I hope to make you proud of your achievements here as well.

It is an honour for me and the BIGMUN Organising Committee (BIG10) to extend an invitation to you all to BIGMUN 2026, let us build the bridges we need to go into the future in unison.

 

With Highest Regards,

Maiken Houmøller

Secretary General of BIGMUN 2026
