Because the Tenth Fleet's [[Tenth Fleet|area of responsibility]] is geographically vast — spanning California, Oregon, Washington, and beyond — Fleet leadership (the Commanding Officer, Deputy Commanding Officer, and [[FSMCPO]]) established a practice of '''alternating the summit between northern and southern locations''' to keep travel distances equitable for the fleet's widely dispersed ships and members. Accordingly the summit rotates between '''northern''' venues in the Pacific Northwest — such as '''[[NorWesCon]]''' (SeaTac, Washington), '''[[OryCon]]''' (Portland, Oregon), and '''[[RadCon]]''' (Pasco, Washington) — and '''southern''' venues in California, principally '''[[BayCon]]''' (Santa Clara), with a nearby echelon or chapter serving as host each year.<ref name="tf">[[Tenth Fleet]] — fleet history documenting the host chapters and their home regions.</ref> In the north the host has typically been [[Battlecruiser Squadron 96]] (SeaTac's [[NorWesCon]], 2016 and 2018) or a local chapter such as {{hms|Eardsidh Kamerling|CL-717}} ([[RadCon]], 2020); in the south, [[Task Group 91.1]] (2015 and 2019) and the fleet flagships {{hms|Medusa|SD-316}} (2022 and 2024) and {{hms|Guadalcanal|LPH-02}} (2026)~~. [[Task Group 91.1]] also hosted the 2017 summit, held northward at [[OryCon]] 39~~. No fleet summit was held in 2023, when the TRMN-wide [[MantiCon]] was co-located with [[BayCon]] and the entire fleet travelled south to attend — an event hosted by {{trmn}} as a whole, with members flying in from across the organization to help run it.

Separately from the fleet-wide summit, when the summit was held in the north [[Task Group 91.1]] convened its own '''Task Group 91.1 Summit''' for the task group's own (largely California-based) members at [[BayCon]] in 2016 and 2018. The destroyer {{hms|Chainshot|DD-372}} was commissioned at the first of these, BayCon 2016.<ref name="tg" />
