Event Insurance
Working in event management, you can get general business cover from any insurer. But there are good reasons for working with a specialist broker who understands the way you work and can provide specialist insurance for events.
The business of putting shows, conferences and exhibitions together has some major implications for insurance. Many non-specialist insurers have fixed (and inaccurate) ideas about the industry – charging high premiums to protect themselves against the perceived high costs of delays and over-runs, unsociable hours and “high-risk” activities.
Our specialist policy Festival Portfolio covers all your insurance risks under a single contract – avoiding expensive duplication and administration. Exclusively available through La Playa, it’s underwritten by Hiscox, an award-winning insurer with first class underwriting knowledge and claims experience in this sector.
Festival Portfolio covers include:
- Property: covers your own and hired-in equipment, stock and artwork, computers and general office contents
- Business Interruption: protects income streams during physical and technological disruptions, and covers alternative hire and continuing hire charges
- Employers’, Public and Product Liabilities: protecting your legal liability
- Money: fees, subsistence expenses
- Legal expenses
We can also arrange:
- Professional Indemnity: protects you against allegations of negligence, breach of duty or mismanagement
- Directors’ & Officers’ Liability: protecting your key people
- Travel Insurance
