About this event

  • Event lasts 4 hours 30 minutes

Join us for the inaugural Fierce Stories event, a platform where we spotlight inspiring individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community and its allies.

Limited to 30 attendees, this intimate gathering will feature Lorin Parys, CEO of the Belgian Pro League, Vlerick alumnus, and former political figure.


In 2022, Lorin took the helm of the Belgian Pro League. Passionate about quality, integrity, and innovation, he's been instrumental in fostering a diverse and inclusive culture within the sport.

Before his current role, Lorin served as Vice President of the NVA and a member of the Flemish Parliament. As a dedicated advocate for social justice, he focused on improving the lives of foster children.

Lorin's personal experiences as a foster parent and LGBTQIA+ individual have shaped his life and career. He has authored a book on special childcare, sharing insights and stories that inspire.


In this intimate fireside chat, we'll delve into:

  • Leadership and Social Change: Lorin's journey from politics to sports and his impact on society.
  • Personal Reflections: His experiences as a public figure, a foster parent, and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.
  • Overcoming Challenges: Lessons learned and strategies for success.

Following the chat, join us for a networking reception to connect with Lorin and fellow attendees.
