In 1995, Thomas Fuchs founded an institute in Frankfurt dedicated to provide exclusive international internships for students. The novelty of this approach and the unconventional selection process drew significant public attention, leading to a remarkable number of applicants. As a result of selected students expressing a desire for
ongoing and continued interaction, he established the quarterly Saturday brunch called „Quarterly Crossing<\/strong>\u201d. This name became synonymous with the network itself, shaping its unique identity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, the concept of today’s ubiquitous „networking“ was already alive and thriving long before it became an essential element of a successful career and before the advent of social media platforms like XING, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. Throughout this journey, the guiding principle has always been „mutual inspiration \u2013 learning from one another and growing together.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The gatherings initially occurred quarterly,\u00a0<\/span>but soon became more frequent. They began in\u00a0Munich and then expanded to various cities.\u00a0Initially focused on students and graduates,\u00a0they eventually encompassed all levels of seniority, as individuals progressed from students to executives and entrepreneurs. As career advancements brought changing needs and interests among QX members, the network formats evolved accordingly. Continuous feedback and input from QX members have been instrumental in further refining the concept of QX and diversifying our event formats.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
