Event insurance coverage is designed for those who are are planning a large event such as a wedding, sporting event, competition, large meeting etc to provide cover in case something should go wrong. Despite careful planning there are many things that can disrupt your event leading to higher costs or even postponement or cancellation. Damage can occur to property, either at the venue or while being transported and bad weather may make the venue unusable. All of these things can be covered by taking out event insurance coverage.
Your event could be disrupted by:
* fire to the venue or bad weather which might prevent you from using the venue
* industrial strike that prevents participants and employees reaching the venue
* threat of a terrorist attack that may possibly restrict travel in the vicinity of the event or stop anyone from getting to the event
* injury to visitors at the event
* equipment essential for the event being stolen, either during transportation to, or at, the venue
* an outbreak of disease for example such as Foot and Mouth or Bird Flu
Any of these problems could result in cancelling the event which could cause financial loss. The correct event insurance cover will adequately cover these problems and many more. Insurance policies may even be custom-made to your requirements and might also include cover in the case of a key speaker or a performer being unable to be present, because of ill health etc.
If you are a small business you will, more than likely, have already taken out a commercial liability policy but insurance cover will more than likely not apply to venues that are not your customary business place. If this is the case you should take out separate event insurance coverage. You must have insurance that will cover employees and temporary staff you may employ specially for this event.
A further problem that might happen is injury to a guest or employee that results in a legal action against the organiser.
