At 2 AM, when most of San Francisco winds down for the night, a different kind of energy takes over. 2 AM Afters has built a reputation for keeping the party alive, hosting underground after-parties in unique locations across the city. With a rotating lineup of DJs, exclusive venues, and a loyal following, their events have become a staple of SF’s late-night scene. But behind the seamless experience was a logistical challenge that was anything but effortless.

"Running 2 AM Afters meant piecing together multiple platforms just to make each event happen. They used one service for ticketing—where fees cut into their profits—another for SMS blasts to notify their guest list, and a separate website just to post event details. Managing RSVPs often meant bouncing between spreadsheets and scattered DMs, making it easy for details to slip through the cracks. With each event, the complexity grew, and the process started feeling like more of a hassle than a passion."

That’s when they found Vently.

By moving their events to Vently, everything changed. Instead of directing guests to different platforms, they now had one place to host events, sell tickets, and communicate directly with their audience. The built-in ticketing system meant no more excessive third-party fees, and guest lists were automatically managed on the platform. With Vently’s in-app messaging and push notifications, they could instantly reach their community—no more scrambling to send last-minute texts or emails.

The biggest difference was how seamless everything became. Without the extra friction, RSVPs increased, and their audience stayed more engaged. Instead of spending hours managing logistics, the team could focus on what actually mattered—curating the perfect after-party experience.

Now, when the city sleeps, 2 AM Afters keeps going—stronger, smoother, and more effortlessly than ever before.
