Benelux agencies: your event in Argentina

Your agency designs and sells the trip; SOMOS DER delivers it in Buenos Aires, in Patagonia or anywhere else in the country. Venues, suppliers, local crew and accreditation, with a single production lead working remotely with your team, in English, from the first brief to the final report.

Why Argentina for your client

A direct flight from Amsterdam

KLM flies nonstop between Amsterdam Schiphol and Buenos Aires, an overnight flight that lands in the morning. Groups from Belgium and Luxembourg can join it from Schiphol.

A manageable time gap

Buenos Aires is four hours behind Amsterdam and Brussels in your winter and five in your summer. Your afternoons overlap with our mornings, so pre-production runs live.

Seasons in reverse

When it is winter in Europe, it is summer in Argentina; and from July to September there is snow in Bariloche. A study trip or incentive gets a season the group does not have at home.

Patagonia, wine and food

Glaciers, lakes, Mendoza vineyards, estancias and the Buenos Aires dining scene: moments that belong in the programme, not just at the gala dinner.

Budget in your currency

We source from local suppliers at Argentine market prices and present a single figure in euros or US dollars.

Argentina hosted 147 international association meetings in the ICCA 2025 rankings, placing 30th in the world.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Has DER worked for agencies from abroad?

Yes. We executed the Manchester City trophy tour in Buenos Aires for a UK agency and an activation at Cerro Catedral for a Brazilian agency. We do not have a published case with an agency from the Netherlands, Belgium or Luxembourg yet.

Can you work white label?

Yes. It is one of our regular formats: we operate under your agency’s brand and the relationship with the end client stays yours.

Do you work in Dutch or French?

Our working language with Benelux agencies is English, in writing and on calls. French-speaking agencies in Belgium and Luxembourg can also write to us in French and someone from the team will reply. Briefs, budgets and run sheets are delivered in English.

How do you handle the time difference?

Pre-production runs remotely with your team, in slots where your afternoons meet our mornings. On the day, our production direction is on site.

How do you put a budget together remotely?

With local suppliers and Argentine market prices. We check every quote against our production criteria and present a single figure in euros or US dollars.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes. If you need one, we sign a non-disclosure agreement before you share the brief or your client’s name.

Have an event in Argentina for a client?

Tell us the city, the dates and the size of the group. Someone from our team will get back to you.
