Traveling Forward With Autonomous Vehicles


Listen Later

Autonomous vehicles are rolling towards us at an amazing rate.  Even autonomous flying cars will be fluttering in our skies in just a few years.  With that said, you don’t have to wait to start using autonomous technology.  On today’s show, we are going to review our top picks of autonomous mowers and vacuum cleaners.  We will also chat about amazing advances in autonomous farm machines.  We will also be joined by a representative from PhotoSpring to talk about an amazing way to share photos and videos with loved ones.
Event cancellation insurance, it is one of the most overlooked forms of insurance cover that a professional might shop for. Most new business owners and event coordinators never look at the strengths and weaknesses of having this kind of insurance. Having this type of insurance can save you thousands if not hundreds of thousands if your event has to be cancelled for any reason. Imagine the money you would lose if you put thousands into an event that brought you absolutely no revenue. To prevent thousands of event coordinators from losing their shirts there is a range of companies that offer varying degrees of event cancellation insurance for your protection. You can see it here for more about the Cancellation Insurance.
If you were throwing an outdoor concert for several thousand attendees as a benefit for a certain charity and you have ten famous artists at your event, what would you do if it started to rain at the event? Probably no much right because that kind of thing happens all the time, people will just hang out in the rain and watch the concert anyway. If you had a headliner who cost you forty thousand dollars to have attended your fund-raising event and that person called to cancel because he or she has a throat infection, what would you do? This might prompt you to cancel your event entirely.
Event cancellation insurance is created for just this very reason. Cancelling a multi million dollar event, or even an event of several thousand, can be devastating for your business and your reputation. To avoid the possibility of financial ruin as a result of cancelling your event, it is always recommended that you apply and pay for some cancellation cover. The price of the cover is minute in comparison to the amount of money you could be losing if you did not have the cover. Save yourself both the money and your reputation by being smart in the first place. Pay for the event cancellation insurance to ensure you are covered from all sides, legal, cancellation, and property damage.
