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.

I would LOVE to attend this. I have been veg for 30 years but really wanting to go vegan. This year I have finally kicked dairy to the curb! YAY ME! But I struggle with cooking for my family of cheese-loving carnivores :-(. I could use more inspiration to get the rest of my family to lean my way… Team Kale!
I would love to attend! We live just south of Portland, so that would be great!
Thanks!
Hi Angela, I would LOVE to go. Coincidentally, I’m going to be in Portland that weekend for a wedding. Fingers crossed!!

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 would love to go to Portland (I’ve been wanting to go for awhile) and experience this wonderful conference.
Sounds like a lot of fun and food and thanks for such a great blog.
I’d love to learn more about being a vegan!
