What Insurance Do Exhibitions and Trade Shows Need?

With any event organiser, there are a number of insurance considerations to be had before your exhibition or trade show.

Public Liability

If an attendee of your event was to get injured due to the negligence of the organisers, there’s a chance they could take legal action. With Public Liability in place, we will take care of the costs associated with defending the event as well as any subsequent financial settlement.

Equipment Cover

You are likely to be using a wide range of equipment in the hosting of your exhibition, regardless of your size. We can add up to £50,000 worth of cover to any policy, covering you for theft, loss or damage to the equipment you use to deliver your event.

Employers' Liability

It’s possible that you will employ members of staff, both paid and voluntary to help deliver your event.  In this case, having Employers’ Liability is a necessity, providing you with protection should an employee be injured and claim negligence on your part.

Cancellation Cover

If you are hosting an event, we can provide up to £15,000 worth of protection should you be forced to cancel or rearrange your event due to Adverse Weather only. You can get your event cancellation insurance quote below.
