You can have the best planned event, only to see it go awry through factors beyond your control. Though you can’t control weather, strikes, acts of terrorism, and other unforeseen circumstances, you can properly insure your event against them. This class will provide an overview of the risks event planners face, and the insurance protections available for them.
