Along with Russo, several other presenters contributed toward the educational content of the seminar in topics related to measurement, templating, installation, and cutting. In addition to these stone manufacturing topics, digital fabrication seminars covered marketing strategies and financing techniques as well as digital templating best practices.

"Our goal with the Baca digital fabrication seminars is to provide stone fabricators with all of the tools needed to move their business forward in all aspects of their overall business, not just fabrication," said Russo. "We aim to provide an all-inclusive learning experience that helps them formulate a plan to grow their operation; part of our discussion is around the 'Baca secret-sauce,' which has been proven effective for many businesses across North America."

Baca Systems held its first seminar in Seattle and plans to hold two more in 2017 and continue to different markets in 2018. Following the seminar at Premier Surfaces, another was held in Atlanta.
