About the Keynote speaker:
Meet Dexter Patterson, also known as the Wisco Birder, on social media. Passionate about making birdwatching inclusive for everyone, Dexter's lively "You Ready? Let's Go!" videos showcase his discoveries of various bird species and have garnered millions of views online. As an educator, photographer, writer, and co-founder of the BIPOC Birding Club of Wisconsin, Dexter is committed to demonstrating that birding is accessible to all. His goal is to promote inclusivity and help people connect with nature's beauty through Bird Joy. He also co-hosts the Bird Joy Podcast and is the author of Birds of the Great Lakes (Timber Press/Hachette, 2025), a birding field guide that blends birding, storytelling, and community. Through his work, he encourages a new generation of birdwatchers to explore the outdoors and appreciate the diverse life around them.
