          Exhibitor Insurance for GAMA Expo 2026

          All exhibitors/sponsors (contractors, vendors, or service providers) coming on to the convention premises to do work or provide services are required to have insurance. Insurance is necessary to cover any claims or losses for which the contractor/vendor may be responsible for. Exhibitors should request a Certificate of Insurance prior to the beginning of work and/or start of the contract. A Certificate of Insurance is a standard form issued by the insurance company evidencing the insurance information (including policy limits and types of insurance) of its policyholder.

           
          Exhibitors must carry insurance for their individual booths.  Please email your insurance to exhibitors@gama.org with subject “Company Name, Exhibitor Insurance.”

          Rainprotection Insurance Program: If you do not have insurance, or you would rather not use your own insurance, (similar to when you rent a car – so that claims would not be filed against your policy), we are working with Rainprotection Insurance to offer Exhibitor Liability Insurance at an affordable rate. The program is set up with Rainprotection Insurance where, you can purchase compliant insurance instantly online for $99.

          For more information on the Rainprotection Insurance program, including the application link, please review the linked document.

          NOTE: If exhibitors have not submitted their Certificate(s) of Insurance (listing GAMA and the KICC as additionally insured) by Friday, January 31, 2026 - they will be billed $125 for insurance coverage.  This change is in place to ensure the proper insurance coverage is in place for all exhibitors prior to arriving in Kentucky.
