Event insurance is a collection of cover types built into a specialist policy designed to safeguard the event or multi-event series you’ve organised against a range of risks. Cover for an event can bring together a selection of products suited to the specific needs of the events market. Our insurance policies can be built to the individual requirements of each event organiser. We can tailor your event policy to provide financial protection from risks such as a guest becoming injured by a falling roller banner or your mobile communication system being damaged, for instance. Cover for kit can help with repairs or replacements, while public liability insurance assists with legal costs, expenses and resulting compensation. No matter the situation – whether it’s a deviation from the pre-planned programme or an injury at your event – insurance offers the cover to put your mind at rest, so you can focus on planning your event.
No matter the scale of your event, you may still feel you need insurance to cover you for potential injuries, damage or unforeseen cancellation. Even if your venue and suppliers have cover, it could prove costly to rely on the insurance of others. You may find a claim could be made against you as the event organiser – without cover you may have to pay defence and settlement costs yourself. Due to the multifaceted nature of events, there are numerous associated risks. Flooding could prevent you reaching the event with crucial equipment which could cause postponement, relocation or abandonment. Alternatively, an accident could result in a guest filing a liability claim, or you might need to fund expensive tech kit replacements after irreparable water damage. Whether you need short period cover to meet the requirements of individual events, or an annual policy, insurance can provide welcome back up.
You might be a charity arranging a special one-off event, the organiser of a local craft fair or the host of a global conference. No matter the size of what you’re planning, VICTOR MILES can safeguard both large scale exhibitions and small fundraisers. If you’re planning an event, we can help you to build insurance to cover the particulars of your programme.
No two businesses or events are exactly the same – that’s why we help you to tailor insurance based on the different types of cover you may need for your event. We tailor two forms of insurance policies for events – short period liability cover for individual events or a multi-event series and annual policies for businesses.
