Dear distinguished delegates, and fellow enthusiasts of diplomacy,

Allow me to begin by expressing how this moment marks the realisation of a long-standing dream of mine. As I write this, I cannot help but feel an overwhelming sense of pride in witnessing the growth and development of my entire team. Each one of us has dedicated countless hours, relentless effort, and boundless enthusiasm to bring this event to life. Today, as we embark on this remarkable journey together, I am filled with hope that the fruits of our labour will be nothing short of sweet.

Our mission for OOWMUN’23 goes beyond just throwing another conference; we're out to create an experience that will stick with you for years to come. We're not just aiming for you to attend, but to actively participate and leave here with a feeling of achievement, like you've truly contributed your unique perspectives and ideas. We're all about making sure that everyone's voices aren't just heard – they're celebrated! It's through this beautiful mix of thoughts and ideas that we'll come together, unite minds, and shape some pretty awesome futures.

In closing, I genuinely hope that each and every one of you has an absolutely fantastic and enriching experience at OOWMUN'23. I wholeheartedly encourage all of you to dive into the proceedings with all the passion and enthusiasm you can muster. Feel free to jump into spirited debates, make new friends, and build connections that are bound to last a lifetime. Remember, it's together that we've brought this dream to life, and it's together that we're going to shape an even brighter future.

Let's make OOWMUN'23 unforgettable!

Best Regards,

Nicholas Denson Mathews
