The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the sporting and events sector, with ongoing disruptions resulting in event cancellations and disruption to the scheduled sports calendar. Efforts to reschedule events are further complicated by restrictions and strict guidelines imposed by federal, state and territory governments.
We explore the current event landscape and share insights from insurance industry experts on the emerging risks looking to shape the future of the Australian events industry. We have collated an inventory of specific issues that sporting and events organisations should consider as part of the recovery planning process, including official guidance made available by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in respect to mass gatherings.
