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.

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.

This is so awesome!! I was just looking into going to this a few days ago but couldn’t afford it I would love to win the tickets!!! Im a brand new vegan and it would be amazing to learn the vegan way :)
The conference would be awesome! I would love to go!
I’ve wanted to visit Portland for so long! Going to the conference would be an added bonus!
I’ll be moving to Portland this fall, and I’ve been looking for a good excuse to visit this spring in order to check out the town. I’d love to go to the conference and make it a joint-purpose trip. :)
This would be awesome! My husband and I just made the switch to eating vegan and I think this conference would be very informative. Thanks for the chance to go.
Pick me please!! I’m a newbie vegan (for about 10 months now) and am still learning about veganism and taking everything in like a sponge! I live in SC and don’t get out much so this would be a great opportunity for me to explore a new piece of the world while expanding my vegan horizons. Also, not sure if you know much about SC but the vegan options here are more than slightly lacking so it would be wonderful to spend some time in a vegan friendly environment with like-minded people!
I live in Portland and so so so want to go!! :)
This would be a wonderful experience! I would LOVE to attend this conference!!!
I would love love love to attend!
I’d really enjoy attending this conference. Thanks for the opportunity to win a ticket!
