Strategic Partnerships Leverage AKC’s global canine network and recent mutual cooperation agreements with NZKC and KKF to position allied services, such as cross-border event management, education programs, and certified breeder collaborations, as opportunities for sponsorships, member discounts, and shared marketing initiatives.

Event Growth capitalize on AKC’s active event calendar and international dog show collaborations (e.g., FCM Universal Dog Show) to offer event technology, attendee engagement solutions, streaming services, and onsite exhibitor packages to enhance reach and sponsor value.

Education Expansion Target AKC’s education leadership and newly promoted roles in education to propose learning platform integrations, virtual training modules for breeders and owners, and certification programs that can be monetized or sponsored by pet welfare partners.
