What is it?
Event Liability Insurance protects both the event manager and the host of the event from liability resulting from third party injuries and property damage for a pre-determined amount of time. For example, if someone slips and falls or a delegate alleges the irresponsible service of alcohol caused them to seriously injure themselves, this policy would then respond.

Event Liability Insurance will also pay for your legal defence costs and any potential settlements or damages paid to a suing party if negligence is proven.

Why do we recommend it?
If you or your client’s Commercial General Liability does not extend to cover an event, consider implementing this short-term policy.

What is it?
Exhibitors Liability Insurance responds to claims of bodily injury or property damage that occur within an exhibitor’s designated booth during a tradeshow. An additional benefit for exhibitors includes the ability to cover replacement costs for any material that gets damaged or lost in transit. With this policy, organizers and venues are only exposed to damages that occur in common areas outside of the booths. Cost savings are available for exhibitors, depending on how many sign up for this policy per each tradeshow.

Property Contents Insurance protects your commercial property from damage or loss and will cover the costs of repairs or replacement for contents, equipment, and furnishings.

Why do we recommend it?
Property Insurance is critical if you have your own business, regardless of the location. Whether you work from home or out of a commercial office, your general liability or homeowner’s policies won’t reimburse you for any damage to your business assets following a break-in, fire, or other disaster.
