Whoa. Ever have one of those times where your expectations are completely blown out of the water? Well that's what happened during this year's nomination for a MozCation.

Wait, wait, wait, before I get too far ahead of myself, I should explain what it is I'm talking about. Last month, we invited people from around the world to nominate their city for an SEOmoz Meetup.

Once again, we were completely blown away by the way local communities were able to come together so quickly and show us how excited they were for us to come. Some people built and designed websites and Twitter accounts, others created videos or blog posts, and a couple even made infographics.

You've all proven to us once again that our community rocks and that we need to work hard to keep up with all of you! I know, I know you want me to quit blabbing so you can see which cities we picked this year. Please know that it was a really tough decision, and we were overwhelmed by the amazing content created. Now, let's get down to business!

And The Winners Are...

Watch the video with Rand below to find out which cities we'll be visiting for a MozCation this year. :)

Note: Please note, that not all the cities nominated were listed in the video. We just took a quick sampling of the cities submitted and listed them.

Yay! Ok so I won't give it away, I want you to watch the video. :) But congratulations to the cities we'll be visiting!

Thank You!

I just wanted to send another big thank you to everyone who participated in MozCation. We look forward to the upcoming Meetups, and we really hope that everyone who participated this year will try again next year! Also, every time we do this, we get to find out where all our community is. It helps us to know where we might want to visit in the future for other types of events as well.

We hope to see you all soon, and please if you weren't chosen this time, we'll be holding more events next year! <3
