Your kit's insured before it leaves the dock π
Months of planning go into an event stand. The build, the AV, the product samples, the branded furniture. Then it all goes onto a truck, a plane or a ferry, and for a few days it's out of your hands.
That's when things go wrong. A pallet gets dropped at a hub. A crate gets water damage in a storm at the port. A consignment goes missing somewhere between Heathrow and the hall. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it usually happens a few days before you open, when there's no time to replace anything.
Many exhibitors assume they're already covered. Often they aren't.
Standard carrier liability is capped by international conventions and is usually worked out by weight, not value. A lightweight crate of high-value AV or prototype hardware might pay back a small fraction of what it cost. Your office insurance may not cover goods in transit either, and it almost never covers them abroad.
Goods-in-transit insurance closes that gap. It covers your consignment for its declared value from collection to delivery, whether it's going by road, air or sea.
