Helping You Keep the Show Going

The basic insurance products that are required for a staged event, include:

  • General liability (bodily injury and property damage)
  • Commercial auto
  • Equipment (audio/visual/staging)
  • Excess liability (for limits in excess of $1,000,000)
  • Workers’ compensation
  • Liquor liability (if applicable)

Covering You When Things Don’t Go Your Way

Event cancellation insurance can be purchased to protect event expenses or revenue against cancellation, postponement, interruption, rescheduling or abandonment caused by reasons beyond your control. Some of these reasons may include severe adverse weather, earthquakes, terrorism or the unavailability of the venue.

For extra protection, consider adding the following to your policy.

  • Non-appearance coverage. This will provide business income protection if one of your creative performers or an athlete misses a scheduled event. Perils such as accident, sickness, unavoidable travel delay, or family catastrophe can be covered.
  • Communicable disease coverage. This will protect you against epidemics as experienced in recent years.
