SA State Conference (SACON) brings high school students together from all over the state to learn about leadership, diplomacy and advocacy.

It’s a chance for students to share their thoughts among like-minded peers on the law issues affecting our global community! By the end of SACON, students will be more aware of world issues and, more importantly, about the role they can play in shaping our future.

In 2023, the theme of SACON was Conflicts in the Modern Age – check out our social media as we uncover this year’s theme, guest speakers and workshops!

SA State Conference 2024 will include:

+  Interactive workshops
+  An expert speaker panel and the opportunity to talk with professionals in the field;
+  A simulated crisis Interactive Problem Solving activity
+  Model UN Debates
+  Much more!


State Conference 2024 will be a socially-distanced COVID-19 safe event compliant with all government regulations at the time of the event. Information will be provided to registered participants closer to the commencement of State Conference about the COVID-19 measures that will be in place over the course of the weekend and what they require of participants.
