The NDSC Convention Rate is $131 and will only be available for families registered for the convention; The prevailing rate will be applied to all reservations not registered for the convention. The rate is valid July 11 – 21; This rate expires on June 21; Space is limited and may fill before the cut-off.

*Please be aware that the NDSC has a financial responsibility for every room contracted in the convention block. Both in Boston and Sacramento, many families booked more rooms than they needed and cancelled them at the last minute. Not only does this keep other families out of the room block, it also increases the likelihood that NDSC will have to pay for vacant rooms, making it harder for us to help people with Down syndrome during the rest of the year. Please only reserve the rooms that you actually need and if you have to cancel please do so prior to June 21, so other families will have access to the convention rate. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Convention registration will open in the Spring!

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be at an NDSC convention, here are some images from our 2009 weekend in Sacramento to give you a hint:
