Special events insurance is liability protection for UWSP organizations that host activities which are not included in the University’s insurance program. This program provides liability coverage and legal defense for claims of negligence brought against UWSP on the grounds of mismanagement, improper security, misleading representations, or failure of equipment/fixtures, to name but a few.

Any group or individual organizing an event on campus which may pose a liability risk should consider this program. In addition, this program may also be used by University affiliated organizations for events held off campus. This may include UWSP campus groups and organizations sponsoring food sale events. See Food Service Liability Release Policy for more information.

In today's litigious society, event organizers face potential liability suits from spectators, contractors, and customers. Even if a suit is unjustified, the cost of defense can be significant. Contact Risk Management for further information.
