“Why deal with an agency that doesn’t understand the coverage requirements and the legal language required by so many of today’s venues? These guys deal with many of the same venues hundreds of times a year! They are experts!”

Rafael Tel Diaz – Mid-Century Manufacturing

“We realized we had everything in place for our exhibit except for the insurance. After 24 hours, our local broker was still trying to come up with a quote when we contacted the professionals at ExhibitorInsureNow, and we had coverage purchased and to the venue within 15 minutes!”

Sherry Cates – UniTide International

Purchasing Liability Insurance for Your Trade Show

Tuesday, February 16, 2010

Insurance is a very important part of our life. The very name gives us the belief that if something goes wrong, and it can, we will be protected. Many feel that you should always hope for the best but plan for the worst, and getting insurance plays a bit part in that. Accidents can happen at trade shows, and when they do you want to hope that everyone is okay and that you will be covered in case of lawsuits. If there is one thing people love to do, it is sue and many will sue for the slightest provocation. You need to make sure you are covered in case of accidents at trade shows. Here are just a few examples of how trade shows can go wrong.

In April 2006, 51 people died in India and over 150 were injured when a fire went through a trade show. The fire was blamed on a short circuit in a panel over a plastic sheeting that was hung over an air conditioner. In January 2008, a trade show in San Diego went tragically wrong when a member of the trade show went missing and was found dead soon after the trade show.

As these examples show, bad things can happen at trade shows. When these tragedies occur, you want to make sure that the exhibitors, attendees and yourself are covered. This is where insurance comes in and why no trade show can occur without trade show insurance in place.

To get trade show insurance, you will need to go to a typical insurance company and tell them you need insurance for the trade show, insurance for the attendees, insurance for the exhibitors and insurance on the venue. This may seem like a lot, but the more insurance you have at an event, the safer you will be. As well, there will be a better chance that you will get great sponsorship for the event when you have several insurance safeguards put into place.

Trade shows are complicated affairs, and things can go wrong at them. When those things do go wrong, you need to have the safeguard of insurance behind you to make sure that everything works out okay for you, the people at the trade show and the exhibitors showcasing their products at the trade show. Remember, hope for the best but plan for the worst with trade show insurance.
