A decade ago, it was shown that associated with any model for $\mathsf{ U}(1)$ duality-invariant nonlinear electrodynamics there is a unique $\mathsf{ U}(1)$ duality-invariant supersymmetric nonlinear sigma model formulated in terms of chiral and complex linear superfields. Here we study the ${ \cal N}=1$ superconformal $\sigma$-model analogue of the conformal duality-invariant electrodynamics known as the ModMax theory. We derive its dual formulation in terms of chiral superfields and show that the target space is a K\"ahler cone with $\mathsf{ U}(1)\times \mathsf{ U}(1)$ being the connected component of the isometry group.
