Those rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis. After September 18, discounted group rates will not be available and accommodations at the Mandarin cannot be guaranteed. Online hotel reservations can be made now by clicking here and choosing “attendee” as the guest type. You may also call the hotel at 1-888-888-1778 to make reservations by mentioning NCC.
