Your Annual Conference is a Six-Figure Investment. Is it protected?

But what happens when a wildfire closes the venue? When a flood makes the convention center inaccessible? When an earthquake hits the week before your biggest event of the year?

Without event cancellation insurance, your organization absorbs the loss. Every deposit. Every vendor contract. Every dollar already spent on a event that never happened.

Introducing Event Cancellation Coverage Up to $250K

Protect Your Nonprofit has partnered with specialeventinsurance.com for A+ Rated Event Cancellation Insurance, built specifically for the associations and professional organizations we already serve.

This is a named-peril policy, which means it covers cancellation or postponement caused by specific, defined threats:

• Adverse weather serious enough to endanger attendees or make the venue physically unusable
• Earthquake including landslides and earth movement related to seismic activity
• Flood
• Wildfire
• Destruction of the venue such as damage, or government-ordered inaccessibility
• Volcanic action including an unexpected eruption, ash, lava flow, airborne shockwaves
• Certified acts of terrorism as defined under the U.S. Terrorism Risk Insurance Act

If one of these perils forces you to cancel or reschedule, the policy reimburses your organization for expenses incurred — minus any revenue you were able to retain and any applicable deductible. It’s indemnification coverage, meaning you’re made whole for what you actually lost.

Who Is This For?

Event Cancellation coverage is a great fit for any nonprofit organization that puts on events, including trade and professional associations, professional societies, business leagues, charitable organizations, and community groups. If your organization hosts conferences, conventions, tradeshows, regional meetings, galas, certification events, or member expos, this coverage exists to protect the financial investment behind those gatherings.

What Does “A+ Rated Carrier” Mean and Why Should You Care?

Our event cancellation coverage is underwritten by A+ rated carriers. That rating comes from AM Best, the independent agency that evaluates insurance companies on their financial strength and ability to pay claims.

An A+ rating means the carrier has a superior ability to meet its ongoing obligations to policyholders. In plain terms: when you file a claim, the money is there.

For associations managing member dues and operating on carefully planned budgets, carrier strength isn’t a technicality — it’s the difference between a policy that pays and a piece of paper.

The Bottom Line

Your events represent some of your organization’s largest single expenditures and some of its most important member touchpoints. Event cancellation insurance makes sure a disaster doesn’t become a financial crisis on top of a logistical one.
