Special Event Insurance - (TULIP)

If you are having an event on campus you must contact the Director of Conferences and Events, Erica Spencer at spencere@fit.edu

All third parties who are participating in an event should have a contract for services. This is critical to protect our institution and to make sure that all parties have the same understanding with respect to the venue, who is responsible for what, what the event is, when the event is, and so on.

Liability Coverage is administered by Bene-Marc and Entertainment Brokers International (License #0773887). The pre-rated TULIP program is underwritten by Clarendon Insurance Company. Other coverage may be written by other underwriters.

The TULIP is a Tenant's and User's Liability Insurance Policy, also known as "Events Coverage". It is used by institutions who permit "third parties" to use their facilities for specific events. It is NOT intended for institutions to shift any of their specific operational risks away from their own General Liability Policies.

It protects both the Facility user and the Institution against claims by third parties who may be injured or lose property as a result of participating in an event.

Events may range from very low risk events such as classroom seminars, receptions or weddings to higher risk events including camps, sports events or rock concerts.
