It would seem to me that "operating event" is the superclass of "contest", in that every amateur radio contest is an operating event. Nets and such are operating events, too. In fact, I've concluded that any sort of organized activity that involves operating would be well described as an "operating event", so the term "operating event" is so vague as to be nearly useless.

The question, then, would be to figure out the reason why the distinction is important in this case.

Even the ARRL calls it an "operating event".
