The Conference Committee 2025

The Conference Committee consists of six dedicated students who work together for a year to make the Conference a big success. 

Chair - Linde Gietema

Hi everyone! I’m Linde Gietema, 24 years old, and currently doing the pre-master in SCM & TOM. In my free time, I love playing tennis, going for a run, play some card games, and catching up with friends.

This year, I have the honour of being the chair of the TeMa Conference Committee. The Conference is one of the highlights of the year, and together with my amazing committee, we’re working hard to organise an inspiring and energising day filled with interesting speakers, relevant topics, and plenty of opportunities to connect.

We’re already counting down to the 18th of November, and we can’t wait to welcome you there. So save the date, bring your curiosity, and join us for a new fantastic edition of the TeMa Conference!

Secretary & Promotion Officer - Bettine Vos

Hi there! My name is Bettine Vos, 23 years and I’m currently pursuing a master’s degree in Supply Chain Management and a master’s degree in Change Management. Before that, I studied Business Administration - Technology Management. In my free time, I enjoy playing guitar, learning new languages, and spending time with friends, whether we go for a walk or catch up over a glass of wine. 

I was looking for a new challenge within TeMa and the Conference Committee turned out to be the perfect opportunity! The Conference Committee offers me the chance to develop my skills in balancing perspectives and representing both the Conference attendees and the companies involved. I’m very excited to help organize the Conference 2025 and can’t wait to enjoy this unforgettable day with you! 

Treasurer & Theme and Speakers II – Max Palmaeus

Hi! I’m Max Palmaeus, 25 years old and I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Technology and Operations Management. Before moving to the Netherlands, I was involved in student life back in Sweden, and I’ve been continuing that here with TeMa. As Treasurer and Theme and Speakers II, I'm excited to be part of this year's Conference Committee. It's an amazing group and we're looking forward to creating an incredible event for you all!

More than studies and committee work, I'll be cooking, seeing friends and traveling whenever I can. I’m looking forward to seeing you all at the Conference on November 18th, let’s make it a great one!

Theme and Speakers I - Theo Molenaar

My name is Theo Molenaar and I’m the Theme & Speaker I of the TeMa Conference 2025!

I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Technology and Operations Management & Supply Chain Management, and this is my first committee within TeMa. As the Conference is the biggest event of the year, I’m incredibly excited to help create an unforgettable experience for everyone; one where we make valuable connections and grow both personally and professionally. Outside of my studies and committee work, I love going out with friends, playing soccer, and hitting the gym. I also spend a lot of time on Ameland, the beautiful island where I’m from. 

I hope to see you all at the Conference this year! Let’s make it an inspiring and impactful day for everyone involved!

Acquisition & Day Organisation - Roan Bootsma

Hi everyone! My name is Roan Bootsma, 22 years old and currently studying Technology and Operations Management. I completed my Bachelor's in Industrial Engineering in Leeuwarden, followed by a Pre-Master in TOM and SCM. Outside of my studies, I play at the G.S.V.V. The Knickerbockers, where I play in the third team. This year, I’m super excited to take on the role of Acquisition & Day Organisation within the TeMa Conference Committee. It’s my first time joining a committee, and I see it as a great opportunity to challenge myself, meet new people, and contribute to the biggest event TeMa hosts each year.

I look forward to working closely with this amazing group to create a fun, inspiring, and impactful day where students and companies connect. Can’t wait to welcome you all on November 18th!

Acquisition & Day Organisation - Frederick Lourens

Hey everyone! My name is Frederick Lourens and I'll be handling Acquisition and Day Organisation this year. After high school, where I ran a small web design agency, I first gained practical experience while studying part-time, focusing on marketing, sales, event organization, and procurement. Balancing full-time work with studies proved challenging, and in 2024, I made the decision to pursue a full-time Bachelor's in Business Administration and I'm loving it! What made everything even better was jumping into TeMa right away by joining the Activity Committee. Now, I’m eager to bring both my professional background and enthusiasm to this year’s Conference Committee.

I look forward to connecting with all of you on November 18th as we work together to make this Conference a meaningful and successful event.
