Overview

Mission

The atlas 400 strives to bring together thought and business leaders from around the world and host them in stimulating environments. Removing our members from the ordinary helps them form deeper bonds with fellow members and to more clearly discuss and solve pertinent issues and problems.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, atlas 400 organized a variety of adventurous trips. These included a hunting trip at greystone castle in Texas, an african safari adventure, and our annual tactical weekend in Florida. We also embarked on a culturally rich exploration of turkey, with stays in istanbul and cappadocia. Additionally, we had exclusive access to moskito island, hosted our large annual meeting in chicago, Illinois, and organized an off-road drive in yosemite. We explored the stunning scenery of Utah with an off-road trek through the moab and wrapped up the year with a grand tour through kyrgyzstan.
