Frequently Asked Questions

What is an XKE?
Xebia believes in Sharing Knowledge. The more you share it, the more it grows. With mandatory bi-weekly sessions of Xebia Knowledge Exchange, Xebia ensures a flow of knowledge from country to country, unit to unit and employee to employee.
First, you need to be logged in to add a session. On the event schedule page you will find a "Plan session" button in the top-right corner. This will start a wizard that help you to plan a session. Alternatively, on desktop you can click in an empty slot to add a 60 minute session with that start time and location. Adding a session requires at least a location, time and title, but it's highly recommended to enter a summary as well.
Power users know exactly in what location they like to host their session and at what time. However, most users are no power users. They do not know all the locations by heart. The end goal is a balanced schedule for everyone. This can only be reached when we know the preferences of both session hosts and attendants. We will make continuous improvements to the scheduling algorithm.
The Xebia Knowledge Exchange is something we like to share with the world. This also means we would like to make the event schedule and session information available for everyone to see. However, some sessions may involve private information that may not be publicly disclosed. Disabling the "public" setting will limit the amount of available session information to outsiders. Note that the session title and presenter are always publicly readable.
