Cedia
An online dog show entry and management platform used by French kennel clubs and breed associations to manage entries and event administration independently of the SCC Expo system.
France has a large and diverse cynological community, with hundreds of breed clubs and regional associations running their own events alongside the main Société Centrale Canine calendar. Cedia (cedia.fr) is an independent online entry and event management platform used by a number of these clubs to handle their own show entries without going through the central SCC Expo system. This is a common pattern in countries with well-developed regional club structures, where individual organizations prefer to control their own entry workflow.
Platform Functions
What Cedia provides for clubs and exhibitors
| Online Entry Management | Clubs using Cedia publish their shows on the platform and accept online entries from exhibitors. The system handles entry submission, payment, and confirmation for each event. |
| Show Administration | Provides show organizers with tools to manage accepted entries, produce catalogs, and assign judges to classes — giving breed clubs control over their own administrative workflow. |
| Breed Specialty Focus | Cedia is particularly suited to breed club specialties and club shows where organizers want a dedicated entry system rather than the broader national platform. The platform manages events for specific breed communities. |
| Show Calendar | A directory of events managed through Cedia, allowing exhibitors to find shows organized by French breed clubs and associations using this platform. |
Understanding France's Dual Entry System
SCC Expo vs. Cedia — when to use which
| SCC Expo | Use SCC Expo for shows organized directly under the Société Centrale Canine umbrella — national shows, regional shows, and major international CACIB events where SCC is the licensing authority. |
| Cedia | Use Cedia when a specific French breed club or association has chosen to manage their own entries independently. Always check the individual show's schedule or contact the organizing club to confirm which entry system they use. |
| Check the Schedule | In France, as in most FCI countries, the official show schedule (règlement particulier) always states exactly where and how to submit entries. When in doubt, follow the schedule rather than assuming. |
