FAQs

What insurance does an event production company need?

1

Event production companies need General Liability insurance as the foundation — most venues require a minimum of $1M per occurrence before allowing access to the space. Beyond GL, a complete event insurance program includes equipment coverage for owned and rented production gear, event cancellation coverage for weather or unforeseen circumstances, workers' compensation for crew and staff, and liquor liability if alcohol is served. Akker LLC builds event insurance programs for production companies of all sizes, from single-day corporate events to multi-day festival productions.

Does a music tour or traveling artist need insurance?

2

Yes — music tours and traveling artists need insurance that follows them from city to city and venue to venue. A touring insurance program typically includes General Liability coverage that satisfies venue requirements at every stop, inland marine coverage for instruments, sound equipment, and production gear in transit, non-appearance coverage if a performer cannot perform due to injury or illness, and workers' compensation for tour crew. Akker LLC places touring and music artist insurance nationwide so your coverage travels with your production.

What does event cancellation insurance cover?

3

Event cancellation insurance reimburses non-recoverable expenses when an event is forced to cancel, postpone, or relocate due to circumstances outside the organizer's control — including severe weather, venue damage, power failure, the death or serious illness of a key performer, and in some policies, acts of terrorism. It does not cover voluntary cancellation or financial loss from poor ticket sales. For any event with significant upfront production costs — venue deposits, artist guarantees, equipment rentals, marketing spend — cancellation insurance is one of the most critical and most overlooked coverages in the program.

Does Akker LLC provide insurance for equipment rental companies in the entertainment industry?

4

Yes — Akker LLC provides insurance for audio, video, lighting, and staging equipment rental companies serving the event and entertainment industry. Coverage includes inland marine for owned rental equipment, general liability for third-party injury and property damage claims arising from rented equipment, and commercial auto for delivery vehicles. Equipment rental companies face unique exposure because their gear is constantly in the hands of third parties in uncontrolled environments — a specialist insurance program built for this operation is essential.
