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!

Hi Angela, I got so excited when I read about you visiting Portland for the conference in May! I just moved up here a year ago to attend the Naturopathic Medical School (NCNM) and am loving it so far. I studied holistic nutrition in undergrad and stumbled across your blog years ago. You definitely inspire me with your great recipes and trials in the kitchen! Would love to meet you and talk nutrition and healthy life at the conference (not sure if I can afford the 3 day pass but we’ll see)! Not much to show for, but if you get a chance check out my (much less extravagant) blog I put together for a project in college : http://superfoodme-molly.blogspot.com
Cheers!
I would love to go to this! It sounds amazing!
I would LOVE to go!
I was the world’s biggest skeptic when it came to vegan lifestyles and now I’m so fascinated by all the options and obvious health benefits I’ve discovered. I’ve lost weight, had clearer skin and my mood and attitude towards food has changed greatly over that last few months. I’d love to learn more about vegan food options and the culture around veganism and think this conference could be a great venue to learn and grow!
Until then, I’ll continue to enjoy your recipes and posts! Thanks for sharing your stories Angela!
What a generous gift! I read bloggers’ recaps every year and would absolutely love to experience it myself.
