Insurance & Risk Management

As festivals and live events continue to scale in complexity, insurance and risk management have become critical components of event planning and financial sustainability. This workshop will explore modern approaches to liability coverage, weather risk, artist non-appearance insurance, cybersecurity concerns, crowd management, and emerging operational risks impacting North American promoters and festivals. Industry experts and insurance professionals will provide practical insights into how policies are evolving, what promoters should pay attention to in contracts, and how rising premiums are affecting event budgets.

Additional discussion topics may include force majeure clauses, event cancellation scenarios, safety compliance, and working with municipalities and production partners. This session is designed to provide attendees with a clearer understanding of how to better protect their businesses in an increasingly unpredictable outdoor event environment.
