#vegansofigmeetup

I want to thank everyone that came out to The Vegans of Instagram Meetup at Souley Vegan on August 30th! It was my first time meeting everyone in the Bay Area. I wish I could have stayed longer because you guys are super friendly and a lot of fun!

We had over 50+ people come out to the meetup!  Not everyone in our party was on Instagram, but here are all of the Instagramers that signed in:

I'm going to start organizing Vegans of Instagram meetups in other cities. Now that the LA meetups are going so well, it's time to bring vegan Instagramers together across the USA. 

I'll need a partner(s) in each city that would be interested in collaborating, and willing to take over the reigns as that cities Vegans of Instagram meetup organizer after I've left. I'll teach you all of my tips and tricks for event planning, and you can use this space to announce future meetups you organize after I've left. 

I'd like to start with a meetup in San Francisco either on August 30th or 31st. If all goes well, I intend to kick off vegan meetups in San Diego, Portland, Seattle, Austin, Miami, Boston, Philly, and New York. With my schedule permitting, I'd like to visit all of these cities within the next year.

If there's enough vegans interested in a different US city, I'm totally down to come out if my frequent flyer miles are permitting, however I might have to crash on your couch. I'm not able to do international cities yet, but if you want to host a vegan meetup on your own, talk to me!

Sound good? Let's make it happen! #VegansofIG
