Event production always comes with some risk. When you’re planning something with a lot of moving parts, anything that goes wrong can impact other elements of your event and it’s essential to protect yourself in any way you can.

At Mertzcrew, we work with event production companies every day and as a result, we understand the risks that come with the job. We have created software that makes it as easy as possible to mitigate your risks by obtaining and tracking production insurance coverage for the AV freelancers you hire. Here’s what you need to know, including details about different types of production insurance and how to obtain the coverage you need.

When you’re scheduling and running a production or event, whether it’s large or small, production insurance is a key concern and something that must be prioritized. Every freelancer you contract must be insured to protect both themselves and your company as well as your client. On top of that, you need insurance to shield you from liability and protect your equipment in the event it is damaged, destroyed, or stolen.
