Vida Vegan Conference Ticket Giveaway
As I mentioned a while ago, I’m attending the 2013 Vida Vegan Conference (VVC) in Portland this May. What is the VVC, you might be wondering? Founded by the lovely Janessa, Michele, and Jess it’s 3 days of seminars, talks, food, fun (duh), and exhibitors all with a vegan twist. And of course, we’ll be prowling the vegan-friendly streets of Portland along the way. This will be my first time visiting Portland and as you can expect I am beyond excited. I might pee my pants actually.
When is it? The VVC 2013 will be held on Friday-Sunday, May 24-26, 2013.
Where? Portland Art Museum, 1219 Southwest Park Avenue Portland, OR 97205
Is there a schedule break down for each day? Why I’m so happy you asked. For the complete VVC schedule see here.
Recently, a reader named Grace contacted me explaining that she bought a ticket to this year’s VVC, but is sadly not able to attend anymore. And because of her super generous heart she’s offering the ticket to one lucky reader! Yes, you have the chance of winning a ticket valued at $280.00 for 3 days of conference fun! If you think you can make it, please leave a comment below to enter this contest.
Please note that the winner will be responsible for all travel, food expenses, and accommodation costs incurred. This giveaway is for the conference pass only. I will select the winner from the comments via a random number generator and the contest will be open until Tuesday March 12th. The winner will be announced right here on the blog next week! Keep your eyes peeled.

OOoooooo, pick me! pick me! I LOVE Portland and desperately need an excuse to get back there again and get away from the Chicago winters. Good luck to everyone!
Oh wow – what a contest! This would be the most epic prize to win ever! I am a vegan due to allergies and have just become so in love with my lifestyle but am always so eager to see and learn new things, recipes, ideas, etc. My 26th birthday is just the week after the conference so wow, what a birthday present that would be! Fingers Crossed and good luck to all!!!
I live in Portland! This would be so great to attend.
I’d love to go to the conference!! I’ve never been to Portland. I’ve heard wonderful vegan news about the city!
This would be an amazing trip! Crossin’ my fingers!!
As a poor college kid I gave up on the idea of going when I saw the price, to go (and presumably meet you??) would be a serious bucket list check =)
This conference sounds amazing! Thanks for the offering the chance to win!

I’d love an excuse to fly out from Virginia to see this event, and visit old friends from my Lewis & Clark College days after the fun. But whomever wins might have a less expensive time of it if they live closer. What a generous and fun idea. Thanks!
If I win, I may pee my pants as well.

The conference sounds awesome. My daughter and I are newly vegan as of last summer and it would be great to absorb more information to share with people and to be surrounded by people who think the same way we do. And Portland is such a beautiful city.
