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

Chairwoman & Speakers II - Imre Willemen

Hi, future Conference visitors! My name is Imre Willemen, and this year, I am the Chairman of the TeMa Conference. I have almost completed my bachelor's degree in Business Administration with a track in Technology Management. In February, I will be starting the Master of Technology Operations Management and the Master of Supply Chain Management. However, I wanted to gain some practical experience related to my studies before beginning my master's.

I am passionate about bridging the gap between businesses and students. In addition to that, I enjoy cooking elaborate meals, having drinks with friends, and staying active through exercise. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you at the TeMa Conference on November 21st!

Secretary + Theme & Speakers I Evelien Annen

Hello! I’m Evelien Annen and I’m the secretary for the TeMa Conference this year. Besides being responsible for external communication and maintaining the website, I am also responsible for the theme and speakers at the conference.

I’m currently pursuing my master’s in Supply Chain Management. After getting introduced to TeMa already during my Bachelor’s Business Administration, last year I made the choice to become an active member. Organizing the conference is a chance for me to gain experience in managing a big event. In my spare time, I like to play tennis, games, and spend time with friends. We as the Conference Committee are convinced to organize an educational and entertaining event. I am looking forward to the 21st of November!

Treasurer + Acquisition II - Lotte Gerritsen

Hi! My name is Lotte Gerritsen, and this year, I am taking on the role of Treasurer for the TeMa Conference. Currently, I'm in my third year of the Bachelor's program in Business Administration, with a focus on Technology Management. Besides my academic pursuits, I wanted to gain practical experience related to my studies by getting involved in organizing a large-scale event.

Outside of my involvement with this committee, I enjoy cooking, having drinks with friends, and playing hockey. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you at the conference! See you on November 21st!

Logistics + Theme & Speakers II - Floris Gelissen

As the day coordinator of the TeMa Conference, I am delighted to introduce myself. My name is Floris Gelissen, and I am currently a 19-year-old student in my third year of the Bachelor's program in Business Administration at the university. In addition to being responsible for scheduling and ensuring a smooth flow of the day, I'm also in charge of organizing speakers and brainstorming the theme.

Last year, I became a member of TeMa and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know new people through this avenue. Furthermore, I was very keen on becoming actively involved and joining a committee. Consequently, I ended up on the conference committee.

Besides my studies, I enjoy playing soccer (which I unfortunately don't get to do as much anymore) and having a drink with friends – luckily, I can still manage that:). Additionally, you can often find me at the gym, trying to stay in shape.

All in all I look forward to contributing to the success of the TeMa Conference with dedication and enthusiasm, working alongside the team to create a fantastic experience for all participants.

Acquisition I - Sam Jansen

Hi, my name is Sam Jansen and this year I am fulfilling the role of Acquisition & Day Coordinator within the Conference Committee. I studied Industrial Engineering in ‘s-Hertogenbosch and moved to Groningen last year for my pre-MSc. In February I will start my master’s degree in Technology and Operations Management. In my spare time I enjoy playing field hockey and padel. I am thoroughly enjoying being part of the conference committee and hope to see you at the TeMa conference on November 21st.

PR & Promotion - Sophie van Midden

Hello, I'm Sophie van Midden, and I'm thrilled to take on the role of PR & Promotion for this year's conference. Currently, in my sixth year of study here in Groningen, I'm pursuing a double master's degree in TOM & SCM. Last year I became actively involved with TeMa and this year I decided I was ready for more responsibility and help organize the biggest event of TeMa; the Conference!

Beyond my focus on the supply chain field, I am also involved in the international political economics field. Outside of my academic pursuits, I play tennis and have recently embraced HIIT workouts to stay active. I enjoy spending quality time with my friends and roommates, participating in a range of activities that span from socializing over drinks to unleashing our creative side. 

I'm looking forward to bringing my enthusiasm and expertise to the PR and promotion role, and I'm excited to see you all on the 21st of November!
