Academic Committee and Organizing Committee
Distinguished Guests,
I, Layla El Sharkawy, Secretary-General of HIAMUN, alongside my most esteemed Deputy Secretaries-General, Karim El Shahawy and Rana Wessam, am honored to welcome you to Hayah’s 16th annual MUN conference, HIAMUN ‘26! We are immensely grateful and proud to build on the success of last year’s conference, HIAMUN‘26, which was the largest conference in Egypt, hosting over 400 delegates. Alongside this milestone, we are grateful to have, over the past ten years, raised over 850,000 Egyptian Pounds for charitable causes related to the Sustainable Development Goals, reflecting the impact of HIAMUN beyond its borders.
This year, we are excited to share that the addition of a new twelfth forum sets a new record for the largest number of committees ever hosted in HIAMUN. This is a testament to our continued growth and expansion, made possible by the years of rigorous effort put into HIAMUN by passionate past members. We are honored to continue this legacy and advance HIAMUN’s mission. For the upcoming HIAMUN, we aim to achieve the highest level of academic rigour yet. With our focused training sessions, improved resources, and renewed dedication, we are more than ready to continue to provide a platform for delegates to engage in ambitious debates, forge lasting connections, and set off on their journeys to becoming global changemakers.
Our theme, “Resonance”, is the perfect embodiment of our purpose in HIAMUN. Resonance refers to a phenomenon where frequencies align and amplify one another, producing a stronger effect than the individual waves could. This directly alludes to the collaboration and creativity we foster in our conference between delegates, where each delegate’s voice and ideas are amplified, allowing ideas to resonate beyond the forum’s walls. It directly aligns with HIAMUN’s goals — to create lasting impact communities, influence positive change, foster teamwork and friendships, and resonate with the citizens of the world.
Looking forward to having you at HIAMUN ‘26!!
Layla El Sharkawy
Secretary-General, HIAMUN '26
