New York — April 21, 2026 — Wolters Kluwer CCH Tagetik is set to host Global inTouch 2026, its flagship user conference which takes place May 19–21, 2026, in Lucca, Italy. Celebrating its 20th edition, Global inTouch launches a global event series demonstrating how CCH Tagetik with Expert AI is transforming the way finance works with AI-enabled capabilities embedded directly into the processes that matter most to the office of the CFO.
Following the event in Lucca, the Global inTouch showcase will continue with regional inTouch events across key markets worldwide, including Belgium, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
This year’s theme, Own the Future, reflects Wolters Kluwer CCH Tagetik’s commitment to continuous innovation and to empowering finance teams to deliver impact today while confidently shaping what’s next.
“The role of the CFO is expanding from reporting on the past to strategically orchestrating the future to maximize value creation,” said Maria Montenegro, CEO of Corporate Performance & ESG at Wolters Kluwer. “Global inTouch 2026 shows how Expert AI is embedded directly into finance processes to help teams detect risk earlier, explain performance clearly, and take action with confidence and control.”
At the heart of Global inTouch 2026 is the leading CCH Tagetik unified finance platform, bringing together product experts, customers, and partners to exchange best practices and explore new possibilities to power autonomous close, continuous planning, and real‑time reporting.

- Budgeting & Planning: Advancements including flexible scenario modeling for alternative forecast simulations, bottom-up dynamic modeling by business units, extended centrally defined model with local business processes, and contextual drill‑downs that bring planning and execution closer together than ever before.
- Real‑Time Reporting: Broader access to intelligent analytics across the platform, enhanced dashboarding, intuitive view creation through drag‑and‑drop dimensions in Excel 365, native PowerPoint 365 integration for automated and real-time narrative generation.
- Platform Connectivity: All innovations are enabled by open connectivity and a modernized cloud platform, delivering a fully scalable, high-performance infrastructure, and seamless integration with platforms such as Microsoft SharePoint and Data Fabric, Snowflake, Google Big Query, and Databricks.
