Every organization at a trade show or an event needs to be responsible for their own actions and products. The best business practice to achieve this goal is to require insurance from exhibitors. SI makes exhibitor insurance easier for exhibitors and Show Management while reducing costs, providing better protection and making the process simple. Here is a quick comparison of the SI process to your current process.

Better Protection for Show Management

SI provides better protection to Show Management because 100% of the exhibitors comply with the insurance requirement in your exhibitor contract. The venue makes Show Management responsible for everything that happens at the venue including any gaps in your exhibitors’ coverage. Does your organization want to be responsible for these gaps after an accident occurs?
