Semi-Permanent is an Australian conference about design in general, held annually in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Auckland; and occasionally on other location like New-York, London, Hong-Kong or Berlin.

The conference was founded in 2005 by the collective Design is Kinky and hosted by Murray Bell and Andrew Johnstone. Semi-Permanent conference covers all disciplines of design, including graphic design, film, fine art, illustration, web design, interaction design, photography, visual effects, animation, graffiti, motion graphics, stop motion, and architecture, and much more.

The usual structure of the conference is made around 12 speakers over 2 days, but some "minor" event seems to work over 1 day.
