The Conference Committee 2024

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

Chairman - Latse Reidinga

Hello everyone! I'm Latse Reidinga, the chairman of the 2024 conference committee. I'm currently pursuing masters in TOM and Supply Chain Management and have enjoyed being part of TeMa committees. Now, I’m thrilled to organize the highlight of the year: The TeMa Conference! Outside of my studies, I love working out, reading, watching Netflix, and spending time with friends.

My committee and I are gearing up for an unforgettable event in November, and we can't wait to see you there. The success of the conference depends on your energy and enthusiasm, so mark your calendars, spread the word, and get ready for an inspiring experience. Let's make this year's TeMa Conference the best one yet!

Secretary & Promotion Officer - Troy Zoethout

Hi! I’m Troy Zoethout and for this year's conference, I have the honour of taking on the role of secretary and promotion.

Currently, I’m busy with my master’s in Supply Chain Management and Technology and Operations Management. Before that, I studied Business Administration in Groningen. My motivation for joining this committee is to further develop myself both professionally and personally. Next to studying I also work a part-time job. In my spare time, I like to go running and to have a few drinks with some friends. I also have a passion for traveling. 

I am excited to organize an unforgettable conference for you all and to see everyone on the 19th of November!
