At the event, there will be places to snag selfies, and attendees can take a trip back in time and look at the first 100 years of women’s basketball. People of all ages can also enjoy games, giveaways, food and basketball contests at the celebration.
Attendees will be able to listen to “Beyond the Baseline” panel discussions led by women leaders who will connect the dots between business and basketball and offer leadership advice.
