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!

So. Friggin. Cool.
I’d love to attend!
OMG…. that is so exciting that you will be at the conference this year. My friend went last year all by herself and had a fabulous time. I would love to win a ticket and be able to go with her this year…..Pick me, pick us, we love you! We are native Portlanders, and could easily attend.
This sounds wonderful!! What a great opportunity :)
I would love to go. Portland is a vegan foodie heaven! Add the conference and it’s just too perfect of a trip.
This would be a great gift for my sister, assuming I would have the will power not to use it myself!
How amazing!!! Im always looking for an excuse to learn more and eat more vegan food!!
Oh man, I’d love to go! *crossing fingers*
I’ve always wanted to go, it’s in such a vegan-friendly city too.
Eek!!! I would love to go!!!
Hi Angela,
I’d very much enjoy attending the conference and I live in Portland…so convenient!
Thanks,
Keri
I’ve always wanted to go to Portland! Thanks for the give-away :)
I would love to attend the conference. I love learning
more everyday. I love being Vegan.
I would LOVE to go to the Vida Vegan Conference in Portland. I’m some what new to the vegan world so it would be such a great opportunity for me to expand my knowledge and hopefully meet some new vegan friends! Yay!! Thank you for the consideration!
I’ve never been to Portland before. The conference sounds like it’s going to be a lot of fun!
I’d love to go! i’m sure you already have a list of places to visit in Portland, but make sure you go to Fifty Licks, one of the foodcarts in portland. the coconut lemon saffron sorbet is absolutely the best vegan ice cream i have ever had!
I would absolutely love to! I’ve been vegan for two years, work for an all-vegan political podcast, wearecitizenradio.com Citizen Radio, and I have a friend to stay with there! (It is also the day after my birthday!)
wow so generous of Grace! would love to go :)
That would be such an amazing experience to explore Portland for a few days! I remember looking at the schedule for the past conference and being supes jealous.
I would absolutely love to attend this conference – I wanted to last year, but my personal life wouldn’t allow it. This would be such an amazing opportunity – just like you, I’d love to see Portland (never been), and I would LOVE to gain knowledge about plant-based living that I can share with others!! Love to learn, love to teach, and love the vegan lifestyle – thanks for the chance Angela and Grace!!
