Showstoppers® Event Cancellation Insurance
Expecting the unexpected can save hundreds of thousands of dollars
No matter how much time, energy and money you invest in your association’s convention, trade show or virtual event, forces beyond your control can cause costly cancellations or interruptions; from hurricanes to snowstorms, labor disputes, acts of terrorism, and more.
ASAE-Endorsed Showstoppers® Event Cancellation Insurance helps provide protection for the loss of revenue or the commitment of expenses due to cancellation, abandonment, curtailment, or postponement of an event.
It also pays for your losses due to the reduced attendance at a continued event – full cancellation of an event is not required.
Please note that the precise coverage afforded is subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions of the policy as issued. Policy premium is due at inception and fully earned at inception therefore no cancellation or return premium is available.
