fairs, and concerts. The costs of these coverages vary depending on the specific event details. Once purchased, a Certificate of Insurance is emailed to the purchaser immediately. More information about TULIP coverage can be found at www.onebeaconentertainment.com. Another option for special events coverage is through the Alliant Special Event Coverage (SEC). Similar to the TULIP option, SEC provides affordable coverage for those third parties seeking to host events on your entityowned property. SEC does offer options for higher limits to be purchased for liability protection. More information about the Alliant Special Event Coverage can be found at: https://specialevents.alliantinsurance.com. No matter how large or small that special event may be, taking the time before the event to transfer the risk that these events create via Special Events Coverage will likely save your entity time and money in the long run. SDPAA is always available to discuss risk management issues associated with your event and to assist with loss control measures and sample agreement language or recommendations. Contact our office at 800.658.3633, option 2 to talk with a staff member about your event.
