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.

Hello Angela,
Congratulations for your wonderful blog. I love your recipes and your easy to navigate site.
First, I’d love to go to the conference because I a new vegan, who is trying to learn more and get all the help and resources I can. I’d like to go to Portland because I have heard so much about the city, their people and their lifestyle. Third, my favorite show is shot there too. Thank you and good luck to all of us!
i saw a few years back you did a bikini body boot camp. I was wondering if you plan on doing another one any time soon.
Yes please!
I will drive from vancouver bc!
Oh. My. Goodness. My friends went to this last year (and are going again) and I would love to go with them. I would dance and make silly faces and, if asked, would happily send a video of me doing these if I won a ticket to Vida Vegan Con
Hello! I’m so excited not only because I have found your website…(purely by chance) But also because I would love to attend the Vida conference! I have recently received my health coaching certificate and have a passion for holistic healing. I believe that this conference would support my desire to help others overcome their obstacles and live the they dream.
I would love to attend the conference! I’ll be freshly graduated from my master’s program and can’t think of a better way to celebrate!
I live right across the river from Portland, and would love, love, love to attend!! I need to learn more about switching from a vegetarian diet to a vegan diet and I think this is just the place to learn!! I also follow your blog and would love to meet you!!
This would be awesome!!!! I live in Portland and would love to go!!!!
How nice of her! I would LOVE to win this!!
I have recently started following your blog and have tried several of your recipes! My girls and I have decided to eat a plant based diet after watching Forks Over Knives and Vegucated. I would love the opportunity to go to the conference in Portland – we live is Salem just an hour away.
Gimme gimme!!
Ahhh! I would absolutely love to go to this conference! I live in BC but I was thinking of going to Portland for my 21st birthday this summer :) I’ve been dying to go there because of their well-known vegan friendly environment!!! plus, who doesn’t love a wellness conference?! Thanks!
I would love to be able to go! The first one was amazing, but money’s been tight so I wasn’t able to buy a ticket this round. Maybe this is my chance! Thanks Angela!
I am in the process of making the big switch to vegan and could use some help! I would love to attend and learn more about this way of eating, especially to learn healthy meals for my family (I have four boys 6 and under).
I arrived in Canada today and will have six months to travel around. Just checked that portland isn’t that far from BC (where i am living) so it would be an amazing opportunity to attend such an event that i would never had back home. Crossed my fingers!
Holy batman!!! I’m in Seattle, went to college in Portland, and would be there in a heartbeat!! (I could do some pretty exciting live tweeting for Grace :) thanks so much for the chance!!
I would love to have the opportunity to go to the conference. I just go my passport too! Thank you very much.
