Event Insurance Insights
Broad and Flexible Protection
Event insurance can be customized to cover a wide range of risks, including event cancellation, public liability, personal accident, and property damage. Coverage can extend to volunteers, crew, and attendees
Vital for Mitigating Local Risks
Hong Kong’s event landscape faces risks from typhoons, and dense crowds. Event insurance helps safeguard against non-refundable costs (like deposits and pre-paid fees) and other sudden disruptions
Public Liability Coverage is Essential
Legal liability coverage is crucial for accidental injuries or property damage to third parties during events—especially in crowded venues. This is often a core component of standard event insurance packages
Event Insurance FAQs
Event insurance covers a broad spectrum, including corporate meetings, trade expos, product launches, private galas, weddings, sports events, and public festivals. Policies can be tailored to the specific risks and size of each event
Coverage typically includes event cancellation or postponement, property damage, third-party injury (public liability), participant or crew personal accidents, and, optionally, event-specific risks like equipment breakdown or food poisoning
Yes, most policies cover cancellations caused by severe weather (like typhoons) or force majeure events. However, known risks (such as disruptions during typhoon season) may require additional or specialized coverage; always review exclusions
Typically, proof of event cancellation or loss (weather alerts, police reports, closure notices), contracts, invoices, and vendor communications are needed. Documentation expedites claim processing, which usually takes 14–30 days
Yes, standard exclusions often include preventable issues (e.g., poor planning or low ticket sales), voluntary cancellations without valid reason, and certain pre-existing risks unless explicitly included in the policy
Public liability insurance protects organizers from legal and compensation costs if attendees or third parties are injured or suffer property damage during the event. This coverage is particularly important in Hong Kong’s dense and busy venues
Some insurers offer instant coverage for a wide variety of events, with options to extend or customize the policy for specifics like food poisoning, attendees’ personal effects, and hired vehicles
Evaluate the event’s unique risks, review policy scope and limits, pay attention to exclusions, and consider add-ons for critical exposures (e.g., non-refundable deposits, weather risks, public liability). Working with an experienced broker can help design the optimal coverage
