Aika – Head of Speakers
Hello! My name is Aika. Alongside Amber, I am in charge of reaching out to potential speakers for CONGres 2025 and being their contact point for information. As we plan to invite interesting speakers, we hope to see you there at the congress!
Julia – Head of Acquisition
Hi I am Julia, the head of acquisition this year. My responsibility is to get the necessary funds to organise our congress as it is an expensive event. For example, speakers from foreign countries can be costly. What I do is write to foundations and apply for grants. Furthermore, I am responsible for ensuring that our sponsors are promoted during the congress and sending them an update after the congress.
Kyra – Head of Logistics
Hi! My name is Kyra, and I’m thrilled to be this year’s Head of Logistics for the congress. I’ll be overseeing all the locations, ensuring everything runs seamlessly from start to finish. I’ll also be managing the food and beverage arrangements. I’m looking forward to this years congress and can’t wait to see you there!
Goele – Head of Experience Room
Hey there, I’m Goele and I am the Head of the Experience Room this year. During the breaks between the lectures, there will be a decorated room where you can eat, drink, and relax. Most importantly, you will be able to explore the theme further by yourself. Looking forward to hopefully give you an unforgettable experience at the CONGres! See you there!
Nora – Head of Promotion
Hii everyone! My name is Nora and I’m this years head of promotion. This means that I’m responsible for all these insta posts and the upkeaping of our website (check the link in bio😜). I also make sure we have an amazing logo and will be designing other promotion material like posters and flyers. I hope to see you at the CONGress!
Menthe
Heyhey, i’m Menthe and since this is my third year in the CongresCie, my function is to support the whole committee where ever they need my assistance. For example, I’m planning (together with Sanne) an amazing weekend away with the whole committee!
