Public Liability insurance upload or change
Good event organisers will require that you are insured for Public Liability at the minimum when you apply for a trade stand at their event. In fact most Organisers, whose event should also be insured, will need your Public Liability Insurance details to satisfy their insurers.
Please help event organisers by updating your details when Event Owl sends you a renewal date reminder. This will save them a huge amount of time spent otherwise chasing you for this whilst they are trying to plan and market their event.
To add (other than creating an application) or renew your Public Liability Insurance details:
- Sign in/Register
- Click on the Exhibitors tab
- Select My Exhibitor Profile
- Scroll down the page.
- In the four boxes provided under Public Liability Insurance account details, enter, check or amend:
- the insurance company's name

Click on the document required (and select 'Open' for example in MS Office) to upload your PUBLIC LIABILITY insurance document. Check this document shows:

- We will keep sending you automated reminders until the date box has been changed. The details and date box must match the insurance document you upload.
The organiser is perfectly within their rights to subsequently deny your attendance, forfeit all monies paid and sell the stand to someone else if this your insurance details are not in date by the time of their event.
In principle you cannot apply for an event without being insured for public liability, via Event Owl, unless the Organsier allows another document to be used, this is at their risk entirely. If you have a membership card, we will require a Jpeg/PDF of BOTH sides of the card OR a copy of the insurance cover policy on your membership information.
If you are a small business and do not have insurance, but trade occasionally, it might be worth checking with your household insurance company to see if you can add this.
Also, you might need to be covered for Product Liability - check with your insurance company first and add this document to your insurance area.
