Bitwire Media’s Dave Moyer is at WordCamp Raleigh North Carolina speaking Sunday, May 23, 2010, on Breaking the Trust Barrier: Establishing Personal and Professional Brand Reliability and on a Q&A panel on WordPress basics and tips.

Dave’s presentation on brand reliability is described as:

Dave has worked in tech and media since age twelve and experienced firsthand the stigma that comes along with being the “kid with a blog”.

Just like nearly all bloggers, vloggers, podcasters, and even twitterers, he started at square one: from scratch with no audience. Moving beyond square one and connecting with an audience takes time, effort, and careful control, especially when your age is considered a detractor.

Many of the barriers Dave has overcome and the experiences he had whilst growing and establishing both a personal and corporate identity in social media are universal, and can be applied to any individual or group.

This session is designed to share the lessons learned through Dave’s own experiences, and explain crucial points in breaking past notions of unreliability to establish one’s personal and professional presence as something that an audience can trust in, depend on, and turn to.

Dave Moyer will be interviewing guests for the WordCast Conversations show. Keep an eye out for him!
