Canadian agencies: your event in Argentina
Your agency designs and sells the program; SOMOS DER produces it in Buenos Aires, in Patagonia or anywhere else in the country. Venues, suppliers, local crew and check-in, with a single production lead working remotely with your team from the first brief to the final report.
Why Argentina for your client
Almost the same working day
Buenos Aires is one hour ahead of Toronto and Montreal during Canadian daylight saving time and two hours ahead the rest of the year. From Vancouver the gap is four or five hours. Pre-production runs live, in your business hours.
One connection away
Groups from Canada usually reach Buenos Aires with a single connection, through a hub in the United States or another city in the Americas, on an overnight flight that lands in the morning.
Seasons in reverse
When it is winter in Canada, it is summer in Argentina; and from July to September there is snow in Bariloche. The same group can get a season it does not have at home.
Patagonia, wine and food
Glaciers, lakes, Mendoza vineyards and the Buenos Aires dining scene: moments that belong in the program, 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 Canadian or US dollars.
Argentina hosted 147 international association meetings in the ICCA 2025 rankings, placing 30th in the world.

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 produced three DiDi launches in Bariloche, Formosa and Catamarca for a Mexican agency. We do not have a published case with a Canadian agency 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.
How do you handle the time difference?
Barely an issue: with Toronto and Montreal we share almost the whole working day, and with Vancouver our afternoons meet your mornings. Pre-production runs remotely; 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 Canadian 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.
