ERC is a national initiative built to standardize vendor documentation, improve safety practices, and reduce preventable risk at event venues. We verify insurance, licenses, permits, and identification across all vendor categories.

A vendor listed your venue during their ERC compliance submission.
This does not create any obligation—it simply alerts you that a vendor has tied your venue to their documentation.

Vendors list venues to verify where they work, who their insurance covers, and which locations their documentation applies to.
This ensures accuracy for insurance carriers and avoids gaps during incident or audit reviews.

Participation is completely optional.

However, most venues choose to participate to stay aligned with evolving insurance requirements and to reduce administrative workload.

ERC’s venue reporting service is currently subsidized through our national compliance initiative.
This allows us to build a unified vendor database across states while giving venues visibility and risk reduction at no cost.

The event industry is experiencing a nationwide shift in safety standards.
Insurance carriers, underwriters, and regulators are requiring more consistent vendor documentation. ERC is helping venues and vendors stay aligned by creating a unified standards database.

To ensure all vendors working on your property are properly insured, licensed, and permitted—protecting your venue from preventable liability.
