Hi Simon, I really don't think we need insurance. The general insurance coverage of the organizers and convention hall will cover all liabilities. We can post a disclaimer in the booth something like: TAUG excepts no liability for any ....... But even this is going too far.
Didn't someone have a table?... I think that $300 for the rental of one table is outrageous. and $134 for a carpet(rug) makes me think I am in the wrong business. Lets see if we can use the resources we have within the group. Henry Simon P. Ditner wrote:

Since we aren't an official organization, we don't have a general insurer, and my name is on everything, so I'm liable if something "bad" happens. Insurance for LinuxWorld would be $189 for $2 million in coverage, officially they require it, but we can get away without it. VON has told me that they don't require insurance, but again, I'd be the liable party. I've asked a couple of you already, but it's not clear to me what I should do, as this would add about another $400 of costs -- advice anyone?
