A conference, seminar, symposium, exhibit, convention, training course, or other gathering during which classified information is disclosed is called what?

• A. Classified Meetings
• B. Classified Visit
• C. Classified Spillage
• D. Classified Working Papers

Answer: (A)

When classified information is disclosed within a gathered group, the situation is described as a classified meeting. A meeting denotes an event where people come together to exchange or present information, and specifying the content as classified identifies the level of sensitivity and the need-to-know restrictions for those attendees. The other terms point to different concepts: a visit is about someone coming to a location, not about a formal disclosure event; spillage refers to an accidental leakage of classified information; and working papers are the classified documents used during discussions, not the event itself. So the gathering described is best called a classified meeting.
