Our insurance expertise will benefit your event

Event insurance is a type of coverage designed to protect event organizers from financial losses due to unexpected issues or mishaps that could disrupt an event.

The cost of event insurance depends on factors like the event size, location, duration, type, and coverage limits. Larger or more complex events may require higher premiums.

When Do You Need Event Liability Coverage?

Any event with a significant number of people, whether it's a conference, wedding, or festival, carries the risk of accidents. You typically need event liability coverage whenever your event involves risks to the public, attendees, or property. 

For example trade shows, conferences and conventions, festivals, sporting events, corporate events and seminars, charity events or fundraisers, hole-in-one contest or golf tournaments, product launches and promotional events.

What kind of risks does event liability insurance cover?

  • Cancellation Coverage due to unforeseen circumstances
  • Damage to someone’s property
  • Damage to rented property, equipment or decor
  • Medical bills if someone is injured
  • Legal and settlement costs of liability lawsuits filed against you
  • Weather Coverage
