CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE:

Every exhibitor contract requires the exhibitor or vendor to have exhibitor insurance for the trade show, exhibition or event they are attending. Please see sample below.

The exhibitor is typically required to carry a minimum of $1,000,000 of general liability insurance for the days of the event and name the event producer as an additional insured. This information can be found on the back of the contract in the insurance section. An exhibitor signs an exhibitor contract and agrees to not only carry the exhibitor insurance required but also to hold the event producer harmless. The required insurance is to protect both the exhibitor and the event producer for claims that arise due to the exhibitors’ actions or products. The exhibitor is responsible for this actions and products whether or not they purchase exhibitor insurance.

Exhibitors are required to provide a certificate of insurance to the event producer to verify they have the required insurance. This is or may be called trade show exhibitor insurance, vendor insurance, exhibitor insurance, exhibitor liability insurance, general liability insurance or a certificate of insurance.
