Introduction

Who uses this system If you are the Superintendent, Event Chair, or Event Secretary of a dog club affiliated with the American Kennel Club (AKC), you will find the Online Event Management System a helpful tool in planning your upcoming event. What you can do using this system Use the Online Event Management System for a number of activities, including the following. ♦ Modify Superintendent identification or event secretary contact information, as well as, event chairman and committee member information. ♦ Submit your event application and accompanying Emergency and Disaster Plan. ♦ View and manage your event’s judging panel using the AKC database to assign judges you selected to use for your event. ♦ Assign breeds and check for judging conflicts after you select or add your event’s intended judges. ♦ Using real-time online reports, monitor your event’s approval by the AKC event operator. ♦ Assign judges and confirm their contract status while viewing the judging panel for other events. When you process your event application or confirm judges on your judges panel, this information immediately becomes available to you in the form of online reports and to dog fanciers with access to the AKC Web site. Only AKC Event Operations can enter a new event, new date, or new location into the database. Your club must request, in writing, to hold a new sanctioned event or a traditional event at a new place or date. You can find forms online through links on the AKC Downloadable Forms page (www.akc.org/pdfs/masterform.cfm#show_events). Once your show information is in the database, you or your club’s representative can return to Online Event Management and update the information as needed, as well as work through the creation of an approved judges panel.
