The Chicago Model United Nations (ChoMUN), also organized by the University of Chicago, is a prestigious college-level Model UN conference in the region, being well known for its unique simulations, and is known to be one of the best college-level crisis conferences in the US. The American Model United Nations (AMUN), an independent organization, is the largest college-level conference in the Midwest and featured 15 committees. In 2014, AMUN welcomed 1400 delegates from around the US and the globe, and also celebrated its 25th anniversary. In recent years, more Midwestern teams have also traveled to conferences on the East Coast, raising their profile nationally. High schools, such as Adlai E. Stevenson High School, the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, St. Ignatius College Prep, and Glenbrook South High School, have performed well at large East Coast conferences and have become particularly well-known. University teams have also been successful, such as UChicago's team which in both 2013 and 2014 was ranked the best college Model UN team in North America, the first team to twice achieve this feat. Other teams like Alma College, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and University of Illinois - Chicago have made a name for themselves at larger conferences like National Model UN (NMUN) and American Model UN (AMUN), and at regional conferences like Midwest Model UN (MMUN). In addition to the city of Chicago, several Minnesota teams have become major players in conferences around the country. In the 2010-2011 season, Cambridge-Isanti finished the year ranked 14th in the best delegate national rankings after finishing the equivalent of second at MUNUC and winning awards at UMMUC. Edina High School hosts the only student-run conference in Minnesota, often attracting up to four hundred high school delegates from over twelve metropolitan schools. Edina High School and Cambridge-Isanti High School are still ranked in the top 150 high school programs in the country by Best Delegate. Other notable Minnesota teams include Minnetonka High School and the Blake School. South Middle school, high school, and collegiate Model UN are all fairly popular in the Southern United States. Model UN in the American South can be divided into three sub-regions: Texas, the Southeast (most notably, Florida), and the Southwest. Texas and the Southeast have robust teams and conference circuits, with Houston notably having its largest high school conference running for over 45 years. The Southwest is still in the early stages of establishing its
