As originally designed in 2015, the Tenth Fleet Summit is not a single meeting but a '''series of separate sessions''' held across the convention weekend, each aimed at a different tier of the fleet — so that there is something for essentially every level of the membership: | As originally designed in 2015, the Tenth Fleet Summit is not a single meeting but a '''series of separate sessions''' held across the convention weekend, each aimed at a different tier of the fleet — so that there is something for essentially every level of the membership: | ||

In its earliest years the fleet styled these gatherings as a '''Fleet Exercise''' ("FleetEx") — a term the fleet's Marines borrowed from real-world naval exercises such as [[wikipedia:RIMPAC|RIMPAC]] — and documented them on dedicated event pages listing the participating and observing vessels: [[FleetEx OryCon 37]] (November 2015), [[FleetEx NorWesCon 39]] (which housed the 2016 summit), and [[FleetEx FresCon 2016]]. The governing definitions of a '''Fleet Event''' and the now-deprecated '''Admiralty House Event''' are set out in [[Orders:Admiralty Order 1803-02]] (see [[Event]]). | In its earliest years the fleet styled these gatherings as a '''Fleet Exercise''' ("FleetEx") — a term the fleet's Marines borrowed from real-world naval exercises such as [[wikipedia:RIMPAC|RIMPAC]] — and documented them on dedicated event pages listing the participating and observing vessels: [[FleetEx OryCon 37]] (November 2015), [[FleetEx NorWesCon 39]] (which housed the 2016 summit), and [[FleetEx FresCon 2016]].
