Potbelly Perspectives

About Potbelly Perspectives

ACES’ Potbelly Perspectives speaker series features Aspen locals and visitors who share their exciting accounts of world travel and adventure through images and stories. Once confirmed and scheduled for a date, speakers are welcome to reach out to their personal community and invite them to their presentation at Hallam Lake.  Hot tea, cold beer, and light snacks will be provided.

Thank you to our sponsor, Aspen Chamber Resort Association!

Aspen Chamber Resort Association and Aspen Center for Environmental Studies are pleased to announce our partnership for the Potbelly Perspective series for winter 2024. Since the release of the Destination Management Plan, ACRA has focused on ensuring visitors to Aspen enjoy our community in a responsible and respectful manner, preserving small town character and building community which aligns closely with the objectives of the Potbelly Perspectives speaker series. The community members that participate in the Potbelly Perspective speaker series are seasoned travelers, visiting unique destinations and coming back home to share their stories. The synergy between Potbelly Perspectives and ACRA’s Destination Management initiatives is really exciting and we are very pleased to partner with ACES to bring this series to life this winter.
