The STEM MAU Conference is the pinnacle of our season — a dynamic simulation that brings all the training, practice, and determination of our members together in one strong event. As a politically active team inspired by the African Union, our conference revolves around contemporary political, economic, and social matters in the African context. During the conference, the students act as formal delegates for African countries, formal debate, drafting resolutions, negotiating with blocs, and championing national interests — all within the realm of diplomacy and formal political dialogue.

It is not a mere show, but rather an actual demonstration of the skills developed throughout the course of a season. The sessions and committee work before the conference equip members with a repertoire of skills and competencies such as public speaking, policy analysis, research, negotiation, and strategic thinking. The conference provides a chance for practicing these skills as members get a first-hand feel of the dynamics of international decision-making, diplomacy, and leadership. Through this simulation, participants gain a greater understanding of African issues as they grow into articulate, confident individuals who can engage in meaningful discussions on current affairs.
