Case Study: Brown University Hosts a 500+ Person Virtual Model UN Event with Kumospace

A Brown University Student Organization Hosted a Successful 500+ Person Model UN Event Online

Brown University, through its student organization BUSUN, needed an engaging way to host a large remote Model UN event for about 500 high school participants. The team wanted an interactive online platform that could support debate-centered sessions, spatial audio, and the feel of a professional diplomatic environment, while also meeting the university’s standards and budget constraints. They chose Kumospace’s Virtual Events product for the task.

Kumospace helped BUSUN build dozens of customized virtual floors, including committee rooms, speaking areas, and a UN Security Council-inspired chamber, with features like screen sharing, configurable conversation circles, and embedded media. The result was a successful 500+ person online event with strong participant interaction, and Brown University’s team praised Kumospace for being more affordable than alternatives and for its top-notch customer service.
