About the United Diplomats Global Assembly 2027

The United Diplomats Global Assembly (UDGA) 2027 is a five-day international diplomacy and leadership simulation scheduled to take place in Bangkok, Thailand, from 25 to 29 January 2027.

Organised by United Diplomats and powered by Global Peace Chain, the Assembly brings together young leaders, students, professionals and changemakers interested in international affairs, leadership, negotiation and global cooperation.

Participants will take part in a United Nations General Assembly-style simulation, representing national perspectives, debating international issues, negotiating agreements and developing resolutions.

The 2027 programme focuses on Artificial Intelligence for Peace and Sustainable Development: Shaping a Safe Digital Future. Its agenda includes building a global framework for safe and ethical AI, countering AI-driven disinformation and deepfakes, and closing the digital divide for sustainable development.

The five-day programme includes diplomatic orientation, formal sessions, negotiation exercises, a crisis simulation, a leadership masterclass, resolution development and voting. Participants will also have opportunities for international networking and cultural activities in Bangkok.

The organisers advertise 280 delegate seats, including 150 scholarship seats and 130 standard or direct-access seats.

Important clarification: Although the event uses the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok as its venue, UDGA is an independent educational simulation. The organiser explicitly states that the event is not organised, sponsored or endorsed by the United Nations.
