Sounds amazing!
This line up looks incredible! Unfortunately, I’ve had a change of plans & won’t be able to travel out to the States in May. This means I now have my EARLY BIRD ticket to sell. So if anyone has yet to buy a ticket & would like mine, please drop me a line: v4vege@yahoo.co.uk You can also pay the early bird price despite these all being sold out! Many thanks, Karen

So excited for this!
I’m so excited – what a great list! There are a few that I don’t follow, so I’ll be sure to add their blogs to my reader, so I’m well prepared!

What a great list of speakers lined up for the Vida Vegan Conference! I have my tickets how about you?
[...] Though I love eating this way, and there are certainly times when we eat high raw for month periods at a time, produce is expensive. That said, we’ll be going back to eating lots of cheap protein like grains, beans, and legumes after this. Speaking of finances, mine should be improving fairly soon though. I start my orientation for work in a week and a half on Monday, January 14th! Which is great because I really want to buy my ticket for this year’s VidaVeganCon in Portland before they sell out! Just look at the amazing list of speakers!! [...]
This is a fantastic list – Dreena, Julia, Fran, Grant and The Vegan RD!! So devastated that we’re in Australia and won’t be able to make it! Have a fantastic conference, all!
