Sponsors

We express our sincere appreciation to our sponsors, whose generous support has made this Safety Summit possible. Their commitment to fostering innovation, collaboration, and growth within our industry is truly commendable. Their partnership not only enhances the success of this event, but also helps us build a stronger, more connected business community.

iTOO Special Risks

iTOO provides specialized insurance solutions for the events, sports, and entertainment industries in South Africa. Operating as Hollard’s preferred underwriter of specialty products, iTOO covers risks ranging from small corporate functions and weddings to major national spectacles.
Their covering includes:

  • Event Liability Insurance: This protects event organizers, venue owners, and sponsors against third-party claims resulting from bodily injury, accidental death, or property damage during an event. Under the Safety at Sports and Recreational Events Act (SASREA) of 2010, having event liability insurance is a strict legal requirement in South Africa for specific gatherings. It also covers product liability, such as food poisoning from catering or issues with merchandise sold on-site. Organizers can utilize their digital platform, EazEvent, for quick online quoting and automated policy processing.
  • Contingency & Cancellation Insurance: This covers financial losses, lost revenue, and expenses if an event is canceled, abandoned, postponed, or relocated due to circumstances beyond the organizer's control. This includes protection against severe weather disruptions or unexpected artist non-appearances. Notably, iTOO partnered with the iconic Comrades Marathon to deliver robust cancellation and contingency coverage.
