Each year the ATA and the ACUS team up with another chapter of the ATA to host a Young Atlanticist Summit in order to broadcast the best and brightest young minds of the transatlantic community. With a wealth of opportunity at each summit, the conferences get better every year with leaders of the international community showing up in force to enlighten the young minds of today what security environment we all face in the coming years and what tools we have at our disposal to maintain international peace and security.
