All Exhibitors are required to hold insurance to cover the legal liability for negligence. This Public Liability Insurance must be for an indemnity of at least £2,000,000.00.

Exhibitors are required to indemnify the Organisers against all liabilities, action costs and compensation for injury or loss of any property, arising as a result of their occupancy of a stand or of any act, omission or negligence by the Exhibitor or agent or any other person under his direction.

Although every reasonable precaution is taken to prevent any loss or damage to exhibitor’s property, the organisers cannot accept responsibility for any loss or damage that may befall the person or property of the exhibitor from any cause.

Exhibitors and contractors are insured under Public Liability Insurance. This does not protect property owned by the Exhibitor or Contractor and, therefore Exhibitors are reminded to insure displays, equipment and staff property against loss or damage.

Event Insurance are exhibition insurance specialists. You can contact them direct on 0800 515980/01425 470360.
