In any live event, things go wrong. Tearing in to what went well, what didn’t go well, and suggesting process changes for the next event is an important process not only for making future events easier, but also for improving the mental
Health of the organizers who tend to focus on the “what went wrong” parts.
So technically, we only hold one if things went wrong.
If we ever held an event where everything went right, then yes, we’d totally call that one an afterparty.

is the regular [performance|postfactum|event] analysis, but it IS NOT the postmortem!
From your previous comment you understand what the term means "after death". Did you really think "after death" and "after event" are the same?
Did your group somehow started using 'postmortem' instead of 'afterparty'? Because if every event you organize require scheduling a postmortem then it is no longer a postmortem and just a regular activity.
