The delagets are part of the convention!
In Iowa's caucus and convention system, state party delegates to the national party conventions are selected through a two-step process. First, local precinct caucuses are held, where participants express their preferences and elect delegates to county conventions. Then, these county conventions select delegates to the state convention, which ultimately chooses the delegates to the national conventions for each party.
Caucuses. The delegates all attend the national party convention at the end of summer/beginning of fall and formally cast their votes for the candidates they already pledged their vote to. Candidates often drop out as the primaries go on if they feel they are not going to win. The delegates awarded to them then have to vote for someone else at the convention.
To close it
Primaries are a way that political parties can win delegates at the National Nominating Convention in some states. However, in Caucus states the delegates are chosen by the party.

Many of the delegates at the Philadelphia Convention argued for a stronger national government, as one of the weakness of the Articles of Confederation was that it created a weak national government. The Constitutional Convention was held in 1787.
