Non-Appearance Insurance

Often purchased in combination with event cancellation insurance, non-appearance insurance protects against unforeseen circumstances that most standard policies do not cover. This secures your bottom line and is essential to protect the interests of any lender providing capital to help facilitate your event.

Secure Your Investment Against Talent Absence.

Non-appearance insurance provides financial security when an event is disrupted due to the unavoidable absence of a key individual. Whether it’s an illness, injury, or travel delay affecting a performer, speaker, or athlete, this coverage ensures their absence doesn’t lead to a devastating financial loss.

Why You Need It

  • Overcome travel complications from cancelled flights, strikes, or customs delays.

  • Protect against talent absence due to illness or accidental injury.

  • Insure against any physical inability to perform or attend.

  • Guard against unforeseen circumstances or force majeure events.

Scope of Coverage

Non-Appearance Insurance covers the loss of costs and expenses, or revenues that result from the cancellation, abandonment, postponement, or interruption of an event in whole or in part due to the non-appearance of any named key individual or performer, speaker, or group who are essential to the completion of the event. Considering the time and money it takes to plan and execute an event, the risks to your bottom line are substantial if disaster strikes.

Please note coverage must be finalized a minimum of 14 days prior to start of the event.  Be sure to allow enough time to submit the application, address any questions and review a quote.
