Get the venue details right

Check the organiser name, required public liability limit, event location and policy dates with your venue. When completing the quote, select the setup (bump-in), event start, event end and pack-down (bump-out) dates. Relevant planning meetings and site visits are automatically covered where they take place within the policy period, so purchase the policy before those activities begin.

Prepare the information commonly requested before an event can proceed → review council and venue event insurance requirements.

Keep supplier responsibilities clear

Exhibitors, contractors and equipment providers need their own insurance. Service providers participating in the event need their own public liability insurance of at least $20 million.

Event public liability also serves a different purpose from insurance for exhibits, stock, hired equipment or the ongoing business activities of exhibitors. Check the policy information and arrange any additional cover the event or participating businesses require.
