INSURANCE CERTIFICATE & WAIVER OF LIABILITY

Thank you for Exhibiting at the 9th annual Advanced Manufacturing Expo!

Because the show continues to grow and the risk continues to increase as exhibitors bring more extensive demos, we need all exhibitors to indicate the level of liability their booth has. If your booth has equipment that could harm someone OR if your demos are expensive if damaged, we will need a certificate of insurance so we know you are insured for both damage and risk. Also, as in the past, we will require all exhibitors to sign a liability waiver before entering the event (see example below). 

If you answered YES and feel your booth has any kind of hazard or is expensive, please contact your business insurance for a certificate of insurance for “Advanced Manufacturing Expo” that waives us from these liabilities. 

Certificate Holder should be:
Advanced Manufacturing Expo
Industrial Control Service, Inc.
9267 Riley St PO Box 274
Zeeland Michigan 49464

Additional Insured with a waiver of subrogation for general liability
with a minimum of $1,000,000 Occurrence/$2,000,000 Aggregate.

Additional Insured with a waiver of subrogation for their umbrella
with a minimum of $1,000,000 Occurrence/Aggregate.

Waiver of Subrogation for Workers Comp
with a minimum of $500,000/$500,000/$500,000 Employers Liability.

Please forward that certificate to info@advancedmanufacturingexpo.com With the email header AME 2024 Insurance Certificate. PLEASE include your booth(s) numbers. Contact AME staff for help if needed. info@advancedmanufacturingexpo.com

* If we deem there is a booth risk at any time during setup or show, and we do have your insurance certificate, your company will not be allowed in the show, and there will be no refunds. The same applies to those booth workers who do not sign the waiver.

All Attendees and Exhibitors need to accept these terms during registration.
