Has a Monday morning ever started out this well before? It’s quickly turned into a celebration: Our dates are official!

Please mark Friday, August 26th – Sunday, August 28th, 2011 on your cute vegan calendars for the first ever Vida Vegan Bloggers Conference in downtown Portland!

You’re certainly welcome to seek out accommodations at this time – check out the Travel page for more, but we will be opening a very large block of highly affordable hotel and dorm rooms on-site at the University Place Hotel & Conference Center at Portland State University.  Very, very soon. As in, be on the look out for registration and accommodations sign-up in early October.

University Place at PSU:

Oh, and it’s just a few minutes walk from Homegrown Smoker Vegan BBQ cart, vegan bubble tea at Chit Chat, Hot Lips Pizza, and the PSU farmers market on Saturdays, the Max Green Line and multiple Trimet bus routes, to name a few neighborhood highlights.

For more updates, follow us on twitter and become a fan on facebook. As always, stay tuned! For registration, speaking, sponsorship information and more.
