AGNT Web Portal

The AGNT web portal is responsive, and will work on all devices, including Android. To set up an AGNT profile, users can sign up as either a DJ or event organizer for free using their email or Facebook login. For DJ’s, AGNT becomes a self-promotional tool that also boasts a built-in music player to feature DJ sets. A DJ’s customizable profile can include a bio, portfolio links, required equipment, price range, calendar availability, social reach, cancellation policy, and more. It gives DJ’s the ability to view all upcoming promoter listings within designated radius and to send in an expression of interest to perform at listed events. For event organizers, bookings are simplified allowing search options based on a DJ’s location, genre of music, date, and price. The fully automated system also includes verified DJ reviews and advanced event management tools to handle all event logistics, negotiate fees, and secure payments. Once a match is made, and both parties have confirmed the booking, AGNT will coordinate payment charging a 6%-10% service fee.
