Online Masterclass: Force Majeure - Event Insurance in the time of COVID-19

Force majeure and other important considerations for planners & venues Due to the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, event planners must make difficult decisions on whether to cancel meetings, conferences, expos and other events. It is unclear how long some government orders that shutter non-essential businesses or prohibit gatherings will remain in effect. Organizations might choose to wait to cancel until closer to the event dates to determine whether the facts will support the standard required by the contract. But it can risk escalated cancellation penalties if the force majeure clause ultimately does not apply. Today planners should look at whether the event can be cancelled accordingly to the general sales terms or under the contract’s force majeure provision. On the other hand they should also think about event insurance coverage solutions. During our round table session our experts will present best practices and advices.
