Within the media, entertainment, and events sector, projects are often technical feats involving many parties: from stage builders and technicians to suppliers of lighting, sound, and visual installations. Each brings their own responsibilities, equipment, and risks. A mistake or incident—think of storm damage, fire, or the unexpected absence of a leading performer or headliner—can have major financial and operational consequences.
Tailor-made insurance
At Van Dessel, we have been assisting organizations in the media, entertainment, and events sector for years in assembling tailor-made insurance policies. Our coverage can protect against, among other things:
- Severe weather, fire, or other forms of force majeure
- Cancellation due to illness or death of a headliner
- Material damage to sets, props, or rented equipment
- Human errors by subcontractors
- Liability claims from third parties
From risk to solution: we think along with you
Who is responsible in the event of damage? What has been contractually agreed? And which policies complement each other?
Van Dessel provides structure and clarity. We tailor insurance coverage to the complex reality of events, productions, and shows. We analyze clauses and ensure that risks remain manageable and insured.
The fire at Tomorrowland shows that even among the biggest names in the industry, unforeseen situations can never be completely ruled out—but can be managed with the right preparation.
