Held annually in Washington, DC, the National University Model Arab League (NUMAL) celebrates its 40th year in 2023.  Started as an informal demonstration simulation at Georgetown University in 1983, NUMAL has grown to host over 400 students from approximately 25 colleges and universities annually. Delegates train year-round through mock simulations, course-structured research, and participation in regional MAL conferences to prepare for this highly competitive international simulation. The 2023 conference will be held at George Washington University.

Due to high demand, the National University MAL conference is by invitation only; to be added to the waitlist please contact NCUSAR delaney@ncusar.org and hannah@ncusar.org.
