An official event is defined as one at which a naval officer or sailor or civilian employee speaks to an appropriate public or private forum sponsored by a federal, state or municipal government, professional or technical association, or social or service organization. Other criteria that applies:

• There can be no conflict of interest, commercial endorsement or benefit;
• May not be political activity;
• The occasion must be open to the general public; the event sponsor must not discriminate against anyone attending on the basis of race, creed, or national origin;
• Event must be open to all service members, depending on the availability of time and financing;

• A Navy captain gives a motivational speech based on personal experience to employees of a medium-sized manufacturer.
