The Women's Basketball Coaches Association holds its annual National Convention in conjunction with the NCAA Women's Final Four. More than 2,000 NCAA Division I and high school coaches attend the convention each year.

This year's convention will be held March 29 through April 2 at the Philadelphia Convention Center.

While nearly 100 exhibits feature sports-related merchandise, the convention also features several seminars and lectures on such topics as coaching profession, gender equity, conditioning and corporate sponsorship. Several entertainment events, such as the Baden 3-on-3 tournament and the WBCA All-Star challege, which features the top 17 Division I players in the country, are held as well.

Several banquets to honor the organization's annual winners, including the Kodak All-Americans, the Jostens-Berenson Service Awards, the Rawlings/WBCA Players of the Year and the Ikon/WBCA Coaches of the Year, are also offered.
