INSURING EVENTS FOROVER15YEARS!
Conference and seminar insurance
Conferences and Seminars are a very common event; these can include work meetings, public speaking and lectures. You may be asked to produce public liability insurance by the venue, often up to £5,000,000 or £10,000,000 indemnity. If this is the case then we could cater for this under one of our event liability schemes. We have various package policies tailored to suit your needs that can also extend to include event equipment and cancellation cover too.
Now you will want your event to run as smoothly as possible and go off without a hitch. When contacting us for a Conference & Seminar Insurance quotation we aim to make the process as easy as possible. Why should the insurance create any unwanted complications? Our team are on hand to assist with any of your event insurance requirements when seeking insurance for your conference.
Tailored insurance cover
Alongside event cancellation cover, non-appearance cover is also popular amongst Conference organisers. If you have one or several key speakers in attendance who are crucial to the event going ahead then you may want to consider this option. A natural disaster occurring on the day of the event could lead to major travel disruptions. A key individual may fall ill shortly before the event is due to take place. Similarly, a common cause such as rail strikes or another form of civil commotion could result in a number of the speakers not being able to attend the event. All eventualities could result in cancellation of your event if the speaker/speakers who do not attend are crucial to the event proceeding. Taking out the right insurance cover to avoid any unforeseen circumstances on the day causing this kind of inconvenience for you could be a wise decision.

COVERS
What does conference and seminar insurance cover?
Conference insurance can combine several types of cover depending on your event and the risks you want to insure. The main options are public liability insurance, employers’ liability insurance, event equipment insurance and event cancellation insurance.
Public liability insurance
Can cover your legal liability if a member of the public is injured or third-party property is damaged in connection with your event.
We can arrange cover from £1 million to £10 million, with higher limits available where needed for larger public events or where required by contract. Venues, landowners and local authorities often require evidence of insurance before allowing an event to proceed.
Employers’ liability insurance
Can cover your legal liability if an employee is injured or becomes ill as a result of their work at your event.
When arranging cover, tell us about everyone working at the event including permanent and temporary employees, stewards and marshals, casual event workers, volunteers and unpaid helpers, and anyone working under your direction or control.
Event equipment insurance
Can cover event equipment you own, hire or lease against insured risks such as accidental damage, loss or theft. This might include seating, staging, decorations, crowd barriers, sound and lighting equipment, generators, marquees and other temporary structures used at your event.
Event cancellation insurance
Can cover certain irrecoverable costs and expenses or loss of revenue if your event is cancelled, postponed, interrupted or abandoned for an insured reason.
Adverse weather cover can also be included if required.
