Join us for a special edition of HERD, presented in partnership with the Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sport to conclude this year's Women's Coaches Symposium.
This edition’s theme is "PLAY"—an evening of true, 5-minute, unscripted stories told from the heart by women who compete, take risks, break rules, change rules, and make their own way. HERD provides a safe, empowering, and joy-forward space featuring amateur storytelling performances by women, for women—with no judging and no winners, just pure community, connection, and deep listening.
- Doors & Cash Bar: 6:00 PM
- Storytelling Show: 7:00 PM (begins promptly)
- Tickets: $29 — (Buy Now)

We are excited to announce the exclusive Student-Athlete Track at this year’s Women Coaches Symposium. Space is limited for this unique opportunity. Running parallel to the main symposium, this track provides currently enrolled high school and college athletes with tailored programming and direct access to powerful women leaders and role models in sports.
Student-Athlete Track Highlights:
2026 WCS: Rewrite the Playbook. Own the Moment.
After 10 years, the Women Coaches Symposium (WCS) has helped catalyze systemic change for girls and women by championing, developing, mentoring, and connecting women. The WCS blends data with high-powered speakers and the unstoppable momentum of modern women's athletics to challenge coaches, administrators, and allies to redefine what is possible. The time is now. Together, we can continue to rewrite the rules of recruitment, retention, and respect for girls and women in sport and ensure they own the playbook and capitalize on the moment in women's sport.
The Women Coaches Symposium is back this fall on November 13, and we're working on some exciting experiences for attendees. Speaker announcements, session details, and more are coming soon... Check back here for updates as we finalize the full lineup.
You can also follow The Tucker Center on Instagram, LinkedIn, and Bluesky for announcements and updates.
