Protect Your Clients From Event Disruptions
As a managing general agency (MGA), BUA provides access to multiple markets—some admitted—across the U.S. This program is tailored specifically for organizers of consumer-facing events such as expos, festivals, and public trade shows. When show organizers depend on attendance revenue to break even or turn a profit, even a slight disruption can throw off their bottom line. This coverage helps your clients mitigate those risks and recover from unexpected losses.
Ideal Accounts for This Program
This program is well-suited for:
Consumer trade shows and expos open to the general public
Public festivals, fairs, and entertainment events
Ticketed events relying on gate sales for revenue
You might have a client organizing a regional home show or an annual public holiday market—both highly dependent on attendance and weather-sensitive. This program can help safeguard their financial investment.
