What It Covers

Coverage is $2,000,000 per occurrence, with an aggregate limit of $4,000,000 for the policy; directors and officers (D&O) insurance and terrorism coverage are not included.

There are additional coverages of

  • $300,000 premises rented to you limit (any one premise)

How It Works

The insurance year runs May 1—April 30.

The cost is $675, $825, $950, or $1075 for full year coverage (including Affiliate membership dues), depending on how many events you are covering, or $75 per calendar day. Neither fee is refundable after your coverage begins. Please allow two weeks for processing your application. If you require a certificate sooner than that, please let us know. We will send you certificates of insurance as soon as we receive them from our insurance agent.
