: Does the General Assembly meet whenever a conference meets or just during the first combined session?

The General Assembly meets during each scheduled session. However, the conference is bookended by joint sessions known as the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. All delegates attending the conference will attend these meetings. The Opening Ceremony features a keynote Speaker and an introduction by the Secretary General. The Closing Ceremony includes the presentation of awards and other cultural events.

Delegates who are assigned to the General Assembly will attend these meetings, and students who are assigned to other committees will attend those meetings. These meetings are where delegates will work on their assigned topics. Delegates will not need to prepare for these joint sessions. Instructors will want to focus on the topics assigned to each person individual committees. The work done here is how students are scored during the conference.

These scores are how students obtain delegate awards and schools are awarded. This in conjunction with submitted work is also how outstanding senior scholarships are presented.
Answer: The General Assembly meets during each regularly scheduled session. The conference is bookended by joint sessions known as the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. All delegates attend these General Assembly meetings. Delegates with other committee assignments will attend those meetings during regular sessions.
