~~While~~ each ~~summit~~'s ~~programme varies~~ with the ~~host~~ echelon and the ~~membership in attendance~~, a ~~Tenth Fleet Summit characteristically includes:~~

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:

* '''~~Commissioning~~ ceremonies''' for newly formed chapters and vessels — for example, {{hms|Cerberus|CLAC-42}} was commissioned at the 2015 summit and {{hms|Chainshot|DD-372}} at the 2016 summit.<ref name="tg" />

* '''Commanding Officers' Meeting''' — chapter commanding officers and echelon commanders meet with Fleet Staff to work through the ''how'' of executing the fleet's plan, with open questions and discussion on making things work at the chapter level in alignment with fleet direction.

* '''Promotion and awards presentations''', at which fleet personnel are advanced in rank and recognized for their service.

* '''Senior Enlisted Meeting''' — the same format as the officers' meeting, but run by the [[FSMCPO]] specifically for bosuns, gunnies, and senior enlisted advisors. The enlisted track runs parallel to, and separate from, the officers' track.

* '''Command turnovers and a fleet muster''', where echelon commanders gather to conduct fleet business.

* '''Flag Officers' Meeting''' — a smaller, more focused session for flag-rank officers and echelon command only, addressing higher-level topics such as echelon-support alignment and troubleshooting that do not need to be raised in front of the full room.

* '''Social and convention programming''' shared with the wider [[~~BayCon~~]] ~~event, including panels, gaming,~~ and ~~a fleet social~~.

* '''Awards Ceremony''' — led by the Fleet Commanding Officer, presenting promotions, awards, and recognition for service over the previous fiscal year. It closes out the summit and sends members back to the convention floor on a positive note.

In addition to these sessions, summits have hosted '''commissioning ceremonies''' for newly formed chapters and vessels — for example, {{hms|Cerberus|CLAC-42}} was commissioned at the 2015 summit and {{hms|Chainshot|DD-372}} at the 2016 summit.<ref name="tg">[[Task Group 91.1]] — task group history documenting the 2015/2016 summits and their commissionings.</ref>

== Alternating summits (2015–2019) ==

From 2015 through 2019 the fleet and its principal California task group alternated hosting duties. The fleet-wide '''Tenth Fleet Summit''' convened in the odd-numbered years — 2015, 2017, and 2019 — with [[Task Group 91.1]] serving as host echelon. In the intervening even-numbered years, 2016 and 2018, Task Group 91.1 instead held a '''Task Group 91.1 Summit''' for its own members; the first of these was held at BayCon 2016.<ref name="tg" />

The rotation was interrupted when BayCon was cancelled in 2020 and held only virtually in 2021 during the pandemic.<ref name="bc" /> Following the fleet's post-pandemic recovery, the Tenth Fleet Summit resumed in 2024, and the 2026 summit was formally designated a [[Portal:Policy Documents|Flag Event]] and the 10th Fleet Summit for that year by [[Orders:Tenth Fleet Order 2511-01|Tenth Fleet Order 2511-01]].<ref name="tfo2511">[[Orders:Tenth Fleet Order 2511-01]]</ref>
