Denver, CO (Mar 22, 2000) -- The Colorado Linux Info Quest (CLIQ) is only
10 days away.  The exhibit hall, speakers and BoFS are all lined up, and
we're expecting a really big crowd.  With over 600 attendees expected, this
will be last chance to make sure you're registered in time to catch the
early morning speakers and BOFs.  

Anyone interested in attending CLIQ should seriously consider preregistration
by mail or the secure online registration system.  Our estimates show we
may have 400 or more people registering on the morning of the show, and
getting all those people registered in time to catch the keynote will be
difficult, even with our automated registration system.

Online registration closes at 12PM (Mountain Time Zone) on Friday, March
31st.  Registration at the Marriott will open at 3PM on Friday in the
Lupine room and close around 7PM.  Registration on Saturday morning will
open at 7AM.

Please note that no credit cards will be accepted at the door!  Event day
registrations will require check (preferred) or cash.
