INSURANCE (Organisers & Exhibitors)

Whilst we take every precaution to protect Licensees/Organisers/Exhibitors property during any event we are not responsible for any loss or damage.

We would recommend insurance cover to include, as a minimum, legal liability for personal injury and damage to third party property based on a limit of indemnity of £5 million. It is also prudent to extend cover to include abandonment and cancellation or curtailment of the event due to circumstances beyond your control. All such risks are provided in a normal Organiser/Exhibitors Policy and in order to assist in this the Centre has arranged facilities, which offer cover at discounted rates with the leading exhibition insurers.

The Business Design Centre can arrange for exhibitors a special concessionary rate for exhibition insurance cover. Please see form and further details at the rear of this manual.

Please note however, that this cover does include the loss or damage to personal laptop computers or mobile phones.

It is a requirement that Licensees/Organisers effect adequate insurance cover and the Project Manager must have sight of the original policy document prior to the Event taking place. Organisers are required to be covered by Public Liability based on a limit of indemnity of £5 million.

ITEMS LEFT ON SITE (Organisers & Exhibitors)

Please note that any goods/ material/ deliveries or miscellaneous items left on site at the Business Design Centre without proper authority will be treated as abandoned and disposed of accordingly.
