Start with how the business operates
Special event insurance should match the event type, attendance, venue contract, activities, alcohol, vendors, performers, temporary property, weather exposure, and the time available to recover from a disruption.
Industry risks to discuss
- Guest injury, premises, participant, and vendor liability
- Alcohol service, entertainment, security, and crowd management
- Weather, cancellation, rented property, equipment, and event interruption
Coverage priorities
- Event general and liquor liability
- Rented or temporary property and equipment
- Cancellation, weather, hired and non-owned auto, and umbrella options where available
Prepare the Business to Continue After a Loss
- Identify the operation's single points of failure
- Estimate realistic restoration time rather than assuming an immediate reopening
- Plan alternate locations, suppliers, systems, equipment, and communication methods
- Coordinate continuity plans with business-income and extra-expense discussions
