Semi Permanent Sydney 2016

We made it! Months, maybe years of thinking and planning culminated in a three-day experience at Carriageworks in Sydney with 6,000 of our friends. Thankyou to all our amazing speakers and artists, partners and of course yourselves.

Before we see you all next year, have a look at some of the special moments.
