Additional types of vendors we cover are mobile vendors, beauty and body artists, pop-up shops, booth holders, virtual vendors, and CBD vendors.

The Ideal Event Insurance for Exhibitors

Insurance Canopy’s comprehensive exhibitor liability insurance can protect your business from surprise expenses. All policies cover general liability claims like property damage and third-party bodily injury. If you select an annual policy, you can also add more protection for your business with optional coverages, such as:

Tools, Supplies, and Inventory Coverage (Inland Marine): Helps with the expense of repairing or replacing damaged or stolen equipment
Professional Liability: Coverage for claims related to your professional services, such as teaching workshops or classes
Liquor Liability: Insurance for exhibitors who make, distribute, sell, or serve alcohol at events as a regular part of their business
Excess Liability: Increases your limits to meet your business needs or venue requirements
Cyber Liability: Covers costs resulting from cybercrime, like ransomware and data breaches

Whether you’re only hitting one expo this season or you attend every show in the tri-state area, we have coverage to fit your business.

How Much Exhibitor Insurance Costs

Exhibitor insurance can be as low as $49 per event*. If you prefer to cover your business year-round, annual coverage can be as low as $18.50 per month**. You can also add additional coverage to your annual policy, which will increase your premium.

* The lowest pricing is based on Arts and Crafts policies.
** The $18.50 per month pricing is based on DJ and Entertainers policies.

Why Do Exhibitors Need Liability Insurance?

No matter how simple or low-risk a festival, tradeshow, or convention may seem, accidents can and do happen. In fact, that’s why many event coordinators require vendors to carry and show proof of insurance. Carrying vendor insurance also shows your customers that you are professional, responsible, and prepared. Not convinced? Consider these real-life examples of what could go wrong:

At an outdoor event, unexpected storms flooded a policyholder’s tent, damaging several pieces of their artwork.
After setting up for a local craft fair, an artist returned the next morning to find her booth ransacked and several of her handcrafted items missing.
While viewing a jewelry display at a convention, a customer tripped and fell into a policyholder’s booth, injuring his shoulder and spraining his wrist.

Exhibitor insurance helped cover some or all of these claims, saving our policyholders from huge financial losses.

How to Add Additional Insureds to Your Policy

FAQs About Exhibitor Insurance

What Does My Exhibitor Insurance Cover?

Exhibitor liability insurance covers third-party injury and property damage claims. This can include medical expenses and legal fees associated with your business operations.

What Is Not Covered by Exhibitor Insurance?

Basic general liability insurance does not cover the policyholder for injuries to themselves, their employees, or damage to their personal or business property. If you opt for a short-term policy, products and completed operations are also excluded from coverage. Every policy also has named exclusions, so check your policy to see what’s specifically excluded from coverage.

How Do I File a Claim?

You can file a claim 24/7 via Insurance Canopy’s online dashboard.

Log in to your account
Navigate to the “Manage Policies” section
Click on “File a Claim” and fill out the form
Click Submit

Once you submit your claim, it can take 24-48 hours to process. A claims adjuster will contact you directly to answer questions and discuss your next steps.

Can I Get a 1-Day Policy for an Event?

Yes! Insurance Canopy offers exhibitor insurance policies for vendors who only need one-day event coverage or a plan that covers you for up to 90 days. These short-term policies start at $49 per 1-3 day event.

Why Is the Venue Asking to be Added as an Additional Insured?

When you add a venue or individual as an additional insured, your coverage extends to them for qualifying claims. Many event coordinators require this to mitigate the risk of hosting events with multiple exhibitors.

Choosing the right insurance is critical.

You can’t afford gaps in your coverage that could put you out of business.
