What counts as a re:Invent party
Anything social, loud and after hours: vendor nightclub takeovers at the Venetian and Aria, rooftop open bars, arcade buyouts, karaoke nights and community afterparties. If it happens in Las Vegas during re:Invent week and it is not on the official AWS agenda, it belongs here.
When the parties happen
Most parties run Monday through Thursday of re:Invent week, kicking off between 7pm and 9pm once the last sessions wrap. Monday nights skew smaller and vendor-hosted, Tuesday and Wednesday carry the biggest headline events, and Thursday is re:Play plus the late unofficial afterparties.
How to get in
Almost every party needs an RSVP in advance, and many cap capacity well below the number of RSVPs. Register early on the host's own page, arrive close to doors, and bring your conference badge plus a photo ID. A few events are invite-only or partner-only, which the audience tag on each listing makes clear.
How this list is built
Hosts submit their own party through the submit form. A human reviews each entry for accuracy and spam before it goes live, then it appears in the table above with date, time, venue and host. The host owns the event and everything about it; Reinvent Radar only publishes what they told us.

Frequently asked questions
Are AWS re:Invent parties free to attend?
Most side parties are free for re:Invent attendees because sponsors pay for the venue and drinks. You normally need a conference badge and an RSVP, and a small number of dinners or VIP parties are invite-only.
Do I need a re:Invent badge for side parties?
Usually yes. Hosts want to know you are part of the conference crowd, so door staff often check badges. Some public happy hours skip that requirement, which the host notes on their own registration page.
When should I RSVP for re:Invent parties?
As soon as a party is listed. The best-known parties fill within days of opening and then run a waitlist, so RSVP early and cancel if your plans change.
How do I list my own re:Invent party?
Use the submit form, add the date, venue, audience and RSVP link, and it goes into the review queue. Approved parties appear on this page for free.
