Event cancellation insurance

Event cancellation insurance is a policy designed to protect event organizers against loss as a result of an event cancellation, interruption or rescheduling due to unforeseen circumstances covered by the policy.

These circumstances may include adverse weather, no-appearance, civil unrest, among other unforeseen events that are contemplated in the insurance contract and may result in the event being canceled.

Organizing an event requires careful planning and financial investment.
