How is My AKC Path Different?

• Club officers can give access to one person for Agility and another for Herding and another for Conformation

• Better fit to how a national specialty is managed

• Access can be given for a single event without access to future year’s events

77

How Do I Get Started

• You should already have a My AKC account

• AKC Event Operations staff can provide you with an access code to link your club role to you’re my AKC account

• Then you request access codes ONLINE to be emailed by AKC to the club members responsible for the events.

What is Coming in the Future?

• We are redoing most of the competition systems – Easier to use – simpler and richer– Faster– Real Time Checks for Eligibility– Electronic Submission of Results for all clubs– Unified support for disparate events at the

same site (cluster, nationals)– Same system used internally and by clubs
