Rotterdam Festivals: Uitagenda Rotterdam

Rotterdam is always in motion. From major festivals to intimate performances, from late-night pop venues to sharp debates, from dance and theatre to art you unexpectedly encounter in the streets — the city never stands still. From film and exhibitions to theatre, children’s activities, workshops and culinary adventures: Rotterdam is full of things to discover. With so much happening, it helps when someone brings it all together. That role is fulfilled by Uitagenda Rotterdam.

Six times a year, this magazine serves as the city’s cultural guide: for residents, makers and visitors. About the city, for the city. A trusted starting point for anyone who wants to know what’s happening and what there is to experience in Rotterdam.

Dex has been responsible for the full production of the Uitagenda for many years, commissioned by Rotterdam Festivals. We make sure all that creativity and programming doesn’t just get conceived — it actually reaches the city.

A production that moves with the city
The Uitagenda Rotterdam magazine is no ordinary publication. The pace is high, the circulation is large and deadlines are non-negotiable. Culture doesn’t wait. Neither does the city.

Each edition requires tightly organised production, where timing, coordination and precision are essential. From file delivery to final proof and distribution throughout the city, we keep full control. We anticipate, act quickly and ensure everything is right — down to the second.

For the large print run, we use web offset printing: efficient, reliable and perfectly suited for magazines that need wide distribution in a short time. This allows us to combine speed with consistent, high quality.

Reliability without compromise
Deadlines are sacred, but quality is never up for debate. That means clear planning, transparent communication and always being prepared for the unexpected.

That’s where our strength lies. Uitagenda Rotterdam can rely on a smooth process without surprises. And if something does arise? We solve it — professionally, seamlessly and with a sharp focus on the final result.

Produced with care
Even for a magazine published this frequently, we make conscious choices. For Uitagenda Rotterdam, we work with sustainable paper, responsible inks and environmentally friendly production techniques. Step by step, we reduce the ecological footprint without compromising on appearance or readability.

A stage for everything Rotterdam represents
What makes this project special is that the Uitagenda magazine feels like the city itself: colourful, energetic and always evolving. Big and small. Innovative and bold.

We are proud to have been part of this cultural chain for many years — doing what we do best: creating, organising and making sure the great things happening in the city become visible.

Uitagenda Rotterdam is more than a magazine. It is a stage for the city — and we are proud to help build it.

We are Dex. Creators of communication.
