Because of the success of the 2010 event, this year's event has been drastically expanded to include:
* Up to 10 hours of Indiana Limestone approved training courses available for MCAA certification credits
* A masonry industry trade show where exhibitors from manufacturers, suppliers and service providers can meet their core customers
* An outdoor theater where industry professionals will demonstrate their company's new products and equipment to mason contractor attendees
* A dramatic tour of an Indiana Limestone quarry, courtesy of the Indiana Limestone Co.
* A detailed look at Indiana Cut Stones' limestone fabrication facility.
* LEED and Indiana Limestone training for Architects and other design professionals.
The schedule for both days is identical. The event format is a "learning festival," in that attendees will wander the grounds and attend the MCAA-approved courses, visit the trade show, see a product presentation in the theater or take part in a quarry or fabrication facility tour as they see fit. The various events will begin at scheduled times throughout the day, but attendees have complete control over what they do and what they see.
The Masonry Contractors Workshop will provide lunch on each day of event as well as buses to the Limestone Quarry Tour and the nearby event parking.

Additionally, award-winning projects came from 25 states, reflecting the national reach and stature of this program.
"This year's winning projects showed a growing trend toward brick as the main element in sustainable design that delivers aesthetic flexibility that matches the architect's imagination and desires," says BIA President and CEO Gregg Borchelt, P.E.
