Events in Buenos Aires

Event production company in Buenos Aires

SOMOS DER is an event production company based in Buenos Aires. For a company or agency abroad, we deliver the whole event on the ground: venue, permits, suppliers, build, check-in and event-day operation, with our own team and one production lead who works with you remotely, in English, from the first brief.

Manchester City

Buenos Aires

The trophies from City’s historic Treble came through Buenos Aires. Beyond 90 (UK) designed the experience; DER executed it on the ground as their operating arm in Argentina: 8 days of production, build, fan journey, press and a security protocol for the original trophies defined from Manchester.

Bringing an event to Buenos Aires from abroad: how we work

What companies and agencies based outside Argentina ask us before they request a quote.

One production lead, remote and on site

A single production lead answers for the whole event. Before it, we work remotely with your team: venues, suppliers, permits, run of show and guest lists, with every decision shared. On event day we direct the operation on site in Buenos Aires.

Lead times

A small corporate event can be put together in 3 to 4 weeks. A large-scale event, or one with international coordination, needs 2 to 3 months. If it requires the City’s special mass event permit, the application has to be filed at least 20 calendar days ahead.

Currency and invoicing

We source from local suppliers at Argentine market prices and present an itemised budget with a single figure in US dollars. Companies and agencies abroad are invoiced in US dollars with an Argentine export invoice (Factura E).

Languages

Our working language with teams abroad is English, in writing and on calls: briefs, budgets and run sheets are delivered in English. You can also write to us in Spanish, Portuguese, French or Italian.

Permits

Permits are part of the production: the DER production lead handles them together with the venue. At large events we coordinate audience entry so the licensed capacity is respected.

NDA and white label

Frequently asked questions

Do you produce events in Buenos Aires? +

Yes. Buenos Aires is our base: we operate across the city and the entire metro area with our own team and technology. We have already worked in stadiums, theatres (Presidente Alvear), Tecnópolis, the Parque de Innovación and festivals of over 100,000 people.

Do you offer only access control or full production? +

Both. You can hire a single service (access control, catering, coverage) or the full 360° production of your event.

Do you work with companies and international agencies? +

Yes. We produce for companies and brands, and act as the local operating arm of international agencies and producers that need to execute in Buenos Aires at a global standard, as we did with Beyond 90 (UK) for Manchester City.

Are you an event agency, a production company or a DMC? +

We are an event production company rather than an agency: we produce the event itself (production, technology, access control, catering and audiovisual coverage). We are not a travel agency, so we do not sell flights or hotel rooms; when a group needs them, we work alongside the DMC or travel agency the client already has.

Can we brief you in English from abroad? +

Yes. Email us, use the form on this page or WhatsApp: you can write to us in English, and we can work with your team remotely before the event and on site in Buenos Aires during it.

How far in advance should we book an event production company in Buenos Aires? +

For a small corporate event, 3 to 4 weeks is enough. For a large-scale event or one with international coordination, start 2 to 3 months ahead. If the event requires the City’s special mass event permit, Resolución 362/AGC/2024 sets a minimum of 20 calendar days before the event date to file it.

How much does it cost to produce an event in Buenos Aires? +

It depends on the venue, the number of guests, the technical production and the catering, so we do not publish a price list. With your dates, the area of the city and the group size we send an itemised budget, so you can compare it line by line.

How do you quote and invoice a company based abroad? +

We source from local suppliers at Argentine market prices, check every quote against our production criteria and present a single figure in US dollars. We invoice in US dollars with an Argentine export invoice (Factura E).

Do you plan corporate events in Buenos Aires for foreign companies? +

Yes. Corporate events are one of our main lines: conferences, sales conventions, product launches, year-end parties and company days, produced in Buenos Aires with our own team and one production lead as your single point of contact.

Do you handle permits and venues? +

Yes. Venue sourcing and permits are part of the production. We have worked at La Rural, Palacio Libertad, Parque de Innovación, Teatro Presidente Alvear and Tecnópolis, and the production lead handles the permits together with the venue.

Will you sign an NDA or work white label? +

Yes to both. We sign a non-disclosure agreement before you share the brief or your client’s name, and white label is one of our regular formats: we operate under your agency’s brand and the end client stays yours.

What do you need to send us a quote? +

The dates, the venue (or the area of the city, if there is no venue yet), the number of guests and the type of event. If you have a reference budget, even better: we build a tailored proposal instead of a generic price.
