OGX stands for Outgoing Exchange and is responsible for sending young people from Hungary on impactful AIESEC exchange experiences abroad.
By doing so, OGX directly contributes to AIESEC’s mission of developing youth into value-driven leaders. Through international experiences, young people gain new perspectives, practical skills, and the confidence to lead change.
But OGX doesn’t just impact individuals—it helps shape the future of Hungary. The people we send return full of ideas, energy, and global awareness, becoming the leaders of tomorrow.
That’s why OGX is more than a department—it’s a driver of transformation for both individuals and society.

What is Customer Flow?
Customer flow is the step-by-step journey a person goes through in an AIESEC exchange — from first discovering the opportunity to completing and reflecting on their experience. It helps us track where the EP is and what support they need at each stage.
There are five main stages in the customer flow:
Attraction – The EP becomes aware of AIESEC and is drawn to learn more.
Consideration – The EP has a meeting or conversation (sales process) and finds the ideal opportunity (matching).
Preparation – The EP gets ready for their exchange through training, paperwork, and practical arrangements.
Experience – The EP is actively participating in their exchange abroad (realization phase).
Post-experience – After returning, the EP reflects on their journey, shares feedback, and stays connected with AIESEC.
Customer flow is a cycle because the idea is for the EP to rejoin again — by sharing their story, volunteering, or even going on another exchange — creating ongoing leadership development and impact.
Visitor = EP visited our website
Sign up (SU) = EP signed up (made an account)
Applied (APL) = EP applied to the opportunity
Accepted by Host (ACH) = EP is accepted to the opportunity
Accepted (ACC) = EP is accepted to the opportunity and he signed acceptance note
Approved (APD) = EP is accepted, he signed the contract and paid the fee
Realized (RE) = EP’s experience started
Finished (FI) = EP’s experience is over
Completed (CO) = EP’s experience is over and exchange standards were fulfilled (learn more in Post Experience part)
How does OGX Timeline look like?
What are SOPs?
SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) are clear, step-by-step guidelines that outline how to carry out specific processes within the OGX function. They ensure clarity, consistency, and quality in our operations — helping us deliver better experiences to EPs and achieve more effective results.
Most importantly, SOPs standardize our work so that every team member follows the same approach and delivers the same level of quality, regardless of the individual or local entity.
Here you can find the SOP Tool, which includes a list of SOPs for each stage of the customer flow, along with the necessary materials and the person responsible for each step. This will help you understand your role at every stage and know exactly what is expected from you to support the EPs properly.
What are Exchange Standards?
AIESEC exists in over 100 countries, but it is one unique organization and brand. No matter where an exchange happens — in a different country, program, or project — the participant should receive the same quality and level of experience.
That’s why Exchange Standards were created: to define the minimum actions and responsibilities that both OGX (sending) and ICX (receiving) teams must fulfill in every exchange.
Here you can find the Exchange Standards booklet, which lists and explains all 18 standards that ensure every exchange lives up to AIESEC’s promise of quality and impact.
