Events & Conferences Insurance

Designed to protect your business events against the financial consequences of the unexpected risks.

PROTECTION FROM PLANNING TO FINAL DAY

Organising corporate events requires significant investment which are often non-recoverable. A venue becomes unavailable. A keynote speaker cancels. Extreme weather prevents delegates from attending. A supplier fails to deliver. Equipment is damaged in transit. Any one of these scenarios can result in the partial or total failure of an event leading to severe financial consequences.

Events & Conferences Insurance provides comprehensive financial protection for businesses organising corporate events. It covers cancellation and abandonment, third-party liability, property and equipment damage, and a range of other risks that are unique to the events environment, ensuring that the investment your business makes in every event is protected.

FAQ

WHAT DOES EVENTS & CONFERENCES INSURANCE COVER?

Depending on your plan, it can cover event cancellation or postponement, damage to equipment, public liability and, in some cases, non-appearance of key speakers or performers.

What does Events & Conferences Insurance cover?

Events & Conferences Insurance covers your business against the financial consequences of a wide range of risks specific to corporate evens, including cancellation, postponement, or abandonment due to circumstances beyond your control. It also extends to third-party liability for bodily injury or property damage, speaker or key person cancellation, loss or damage to event equipment and property, venue failure, and adverse weather.

What counts as a circumstance beyond my control for a cancellation claim?

Circumstances beyond your control typically include venue unavailability due to fire, flood, or structural failure, extreme or adverse weather conditions, the death or serious illness of a key speaker or organiser, force majeure events such as natural disasters or civil unrest, and government-imposed restrictions that prevent the event from proceeding. Cancellation arising from a change of mind, budget constraints, or low delegate registration does not typically qualify.

What is not covered under an Events & Conferences Insurance policy?

Standard exclusions include cancellation arising from circumstances known or anticipated at the time the policy was taken out, losses arising from contractual penalties, bodily injury to employees (which falls under Workmen’s Compensation Insurance), and losses arising from war or political violence. At GSIB, we walk you through all exclusions clearly before your policy is placed so there are no surprises if a claim arises.

Is Event Liability Insurance mandatory?

Many venues in the UAE require event organisers to hold a minimum level of third-party liability insurance as a condition of their hire agreement, as the potential for bodily injury or property damage claims arising from a large gathering of people is a real and significant exposure.

How do I make a claim if my event is cancelled or an incident occurs?

Notify GSIB as soon as you become aware of the possible cancellation of the event. Document all financial losses, irrecoverable costs, and additional expenses, including supplier contracts, venue agreements, and correspondence relevant to the claim.
