NEW FOR 2008:

Beginning in 2008, IDG World Expo requires that all exhibiting companies carry Commercial Liability Insurance with a limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 aggregate.  This insurance must be in force during the lease dates of the event, August 1 - August 8, 2008. Proof of this insurance must be furnished to IDG World Expo at least 30 days prior to occupancy and NO LATER THAN July 11, 2008.  Failure to provide proof of insurance will result in an exhibitor not being allowed to participate in LinuxWorld and/or NGDC.

The Certificate of Liability Insurance should list as additional insured; IDG World Expo, International Data Group, Inc., GES Exposition Services, and Moscone Center.

In the event an exhibitor does not already have insurance with the necessary coverage, the LinuxWorld/NGDC Exhibitor Kit includes an order form for purchasing the required insurance from an official event contractor.
