<p>Have you been to one? And I think it's just you, the point is to have fun, to learn about the topics assigned, to practice your debating and communication skills, to meet new people, maybe see a college campus, and possibly win an award too....</p>
<p>I'm surprised nobody's mentioned UMMUN. It may just be that it's the only inter-school conference I've been to, but it seemed very well put together, and committees were nice and small (15 for SC (duh), about 60 for General Assembly). It's also one of the top conferences in the Midwest. Our school can't pay for us to go outside Michigan, unfortunately, even though one of our "alumni" who's at MIT invited us there. We can't even go to Michigan State (MSUMUN) this year.</p>
