Musicians for Equal Opportunities for Women (MEOW) is seeking 100 female musicians for a performance showcase at MEOW Con, the inaugural, three-day music conference on the state of women in music.

Taking place Oct. 24-26 at the Renaissance Hotel in Austin, Texas, MEOW Con will feature keynote speaker Suzi Quatro, panel discussions, workshops, performances, a trade show, and networking opportunities.

MEOW Con will examine the cultural impact of how women are perceived through the lens of film, literature, blogs, and traditional music journalism.

There are a total of 100 available performance slots, and artists of all genres are encouraged to apply. The deadline to submit applications is May 1. Showcase applications will be taken three ways: through Sonicbid.com, PayPal, and via mail at MEOW Con, 3616 Far West Blvd., #117-121, Austin, TX 78731.
