UK and Irish agencies: your event in Argentina

Your agency designs and sells the event; 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. We have already done it for a UK agency: the Manchester City trophy tour in Buenos Aires.

Why Argentina for your client

A direct flight from London

British Airways flies direct between London Heathrow and Buenos Aires. One overnight flight, and the group arrives in a city that feels close to Europe.

A manageable time gap

Buenos Aires is three hours behind the UK and Ireland in winter and four in summer. Your afternoons overlap with our mornings, so pre-production runs live.

Seasons in reverse

When it is summer at home, it is winter here, with snow in Bariloche from July to September; and the southern summer falls during your winter.

Patagonia, wine and food

Glaciers, lakes, Mendoza vineyards 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 pounds, euros or US dollars.

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

Tell us about your event

Dates, city, number of guests and what you need. That is enough for us to send you a proposal.

It goes straight to Franco Ridao, director of DER, in Buenos Aires.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Have you worked with UK agencies?

Yes. A UK agency designed the Manchester City trophy tour and DER executed it in Buenos Aires: build, fan journey, press and logistics across 8 days. We work as the local production partner: your team designs and sells, we deliver in Argentina.

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?

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 your currency.

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.
