Designer Education Series
With the introduction of the Designer Education Series in 2005, BSI began a brand new approach to providing solid educational programming to the design community. The Designer Education Series is a full-day program for designers that provides insight into the entire process of specifying stone on a project. From quarrying the stone through the care and maintenance of the stone, attendees enjoy six hours of stone training. The program is registered with AIA and attendees are given 6 CEU’s HSW for attending. A full schedule of the DES program is provided and updated on a regular basis in our News and Events section of the site.

Study Tour / Annual Convention
Building Stone Institute provides numerous opportunities throughout the year for member firms to get additional educational opportunities. The two largest events are the Annual Convention and the Study Tour. The Annual Convention features business meetings, committee meetings, and classroom based presentations. The Study Tour is more of a hands-on educational opportunity. At the Study Tour, attendees see how other members of the BSI run their businesses and have an opportunity to take home new ideas and tips. Both events have a heavy amount of networking among the members, and this provides some of the best education available in the industry.
