A Specialist Approach to Event Cancellation Insurance and Claims
Despite the best-laid plans, event cancellations happen — due to venue damage, loss of utilities, or other causes.
What Is Event Cancellation Insurance?
Event cancellation insurance helps safeguard your balance sheet if you need to cancel, postpone, curtail, relocate, or abandon an event due to an insured peril. It helps reimburse:
- Irrecoverable expenses
- Relocation and other additional expenses
- Verifiable lost revenues
- Advance revenues that may need to be refunded
Triggers for Event Cancellation Coverage
Though policies vary, common insured perils include:
- Severe weather (hurricanes, tornados, nor’easters, etc.)
- Venue unavailability (fires, floods, power outages, etc.)
- Acts or threatened acts of terrorism
- Earthquake
- Wildfire
- Labor strikes
- Civil unrest
- Non-appearance of key speaker/guest
- Catastrophic non-appearance of attendees
- National mourning
- Cyberattacks or malfunctions
Types of Events to Insure
Many event types can benefit from event cancellation insurance. Consider this coverage for any gathering that involves high upfront investments and potential for significant financial loss if a cancellation or disruption occurs.
- Corporate events: Sales conferences, investor meetings, product launches, executive retreats, annual general meetings, corporate incentive events
- Entertainment and arts: Music festivals, award ceremonies, film premieres, theatrical performances or productions, celebrity galas
- Sports and athletic events: Professional sporting events, marathons and triathlons, Olympic-scale trials or regional games, e-sports competitions
- Social and private events: Large-scale weddings, high-net-worth celebrations, destination events requiring international travel and exclusive venues
- Trade and exhibition events: Global industry shows, expos and fairs, fashion shows
- Nonprofit and community events: Fundraising galas, political campaign events, cultural festivals, university events, religious gatherings
- Tech and science events: Tech product launches or keynotes, scientific conventions
