This really sounds like something you should be attending as well… Not for any information you could get on how to write a successful “vegan” blog. But rather as a point of possible acknowledgment that you do!
Vegan bloggers are so very important for many of us “new” vegans. I know between vegansoapbox and a few others – It was my lifeline at the start.
Perhaps this is a great opportunity for me to thank YOU for all you’ve done and continue to do… With or without a conference I’ll always be indebted to your words of wisdom and clarity.
