You Exhibit is at Risk
Attending an exhibition can be an expensive business. There is not only the stand cost, but transport, accommodation for staff, advertising and marketing costs, and more. All of this is at risk if you are prevented from attending the exhibition due to causes beyond your control. And if the worst happens and the exhibition organisers are forced to cancel the event, who will compensate you beyond the basic stand cost?
So what can happen to disrupt an exhibition? The following have all happened to somebody, at some time:
- An accident involving vehicles transporting stands and exhibits to the show
- Serious damage to business premises causing loss of displays
- The venue may not be available due to damage by fire, storm etc.
- The failure of key utilities or equipment such as power, heating, lighting, sound, kitchens, toilets, fire safety equipment, all of which have the potential to make the venue unavailable
- Denial of access to the venue by emergency services
- Terrorism leading to closure of transport or denial of access
- Adverse weather conditions disrupting road, rail, air, and sea transport, or affecting outdoor events
- Strikes causing disruption to scheduled rail or airline services
- Outbreaks of infectious diseases leading to quarantine or restricted access
- Outbreaks of civil disorder - riots. This may also have indirect effects, for example by causing denial of access
- National mourning which can lead to closure of venues
- Inability to leave the venue at the planned time, which might incur penalties
- Even volcanic eruptions in Europe - need we say more?
- There are other examples, and you may well have had difficult situations in your own events.
It is surprising how a poor Exhibitor Insurance would not cover many of these situations. Our Exhibitor Insurance can.
What is at Stake?
You could lose or have pay out some or all of the following:
- All the expenses you have incurred in taking part in the exhibition
- Additional costs which might be incurred
- Penalties for not vacating the venue on time
Poor Event Insurance does not cover all of this. Our Exhibitor Insurance can.
