Event Assured has launched the first multi-currency full cycle EDI exhibitor insurance website – www.exhibitor-insurance-online.com – directly responding to client need for a service that provides instant quotes and cover in three currencies.

"With so many other issues to sort out when planning an exhibition stand, it's little wonder that some exhibitors don't get round to taking out the right insurance,” said Event Assured managing director Brian Kirsch.

Apart from the need to have insurance to comply with stand contracts, exhibitors can leave themselves financially exposed by not thinking about the risks to which they are exposed and getting the right cover in place. Insurance can be confusing, and the time spent researching quotes and suppliers is costly and can be a hassle. This new service provides instant quotes and cover in just a couple of minutes, giving the exhibitors peace of mind and saving them time."

The site makes comprehensive cover available for exhibitions in some 28 countries, for events taking place in over 100 countries worldwide, and in three separate currencies – pound sterling, euros and dollars. Even local tax rates are calculated automatically.

Purchasers can select from a range of packages suited to different sized stands, with cover, premiums and documentation instantly displayed in the chosen currency.

The website's dynamic design allows purchasers to review and change various elements in their quote in a matter of seconds (including currencies). They can then buy online through a secure payment gateway.

The new website can also be used by exhibition organisers to provide bespoke insurance packages for their exhibiting clients. Event Assured can create the most appropriate range of packages for each event including, for example special extensions and rates.

Major organisers such as the Country Landowners Association and Exposure
Event Creations have already used this service for their forthcoming shows.

"The personal touch still exists in the internet age," added Kirsch.
