Wolters Kluwer CCH Tagetik Kicks Off Global inTouch 2026 Series Showcasing Expert AI in Action for the Office of CFO

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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 20^th 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.

Key innovation highlights include:

• Expert AI: Brings a proactive, transparent approach to finance that combines trusted data, embedded domain expertise, and AI‑driven automation to deliver purpose-built intelligence directly within everyday workflows. Acting as a trusted ally, Expert AI automates time-consuming activities to elevate teams’ focus on insight, decision-making and value creation.
  
  At Global inTouch, this vision comes to life through new capabilities such as Planning Sentinel, an agentic experience where AI agents continuously monitor performance, explain variances with narratives, and simulate alternative scenarios, helping teams anticipate risk and act faster. These capabilities are part of a growing Expert AI ecosystem that also enables touchless reconciliation, disclosure consistency controls, intelligent data extraction and interpretation, streamlining finance activities through guided, automated experiences.
• Financial Close & Consolidation: Expanded capabilities supporting greater flexibility for restatements, IFRS 18‑ready reporting and disclosures, smarter administration for streamlined maintenance, advanced process monitoring and collaboration, and enhanced tax and reporting functionality.
• 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.

Global inTouch 2026 is supported by nearly 80 sponsors and features more than 100 breakout sessions across four tracks: Ignite, Build, Master, and Deliver, covering innovation highlights, product vision, best practices, technical deep dives, and customer success stories.

Attendees can also take part in hands-on learning in the Empowerment Zone and explore AI‑led experiences at the Expert AI Center.
