We’re attending Vertex Exchange Europe 2026!

Vertex Exchange Europe returns to Vienna in 2026

Vertex Exchange Europe will take place on 21 to 22 April 2026 in Vienna, bringing together professionals working across tax, finance and technology. Innovate Tax will be attending as a Bronze Sponsor.

The event has become a regular fixture in the tax technology calendar, particularly for organisations using or working with tax engines. As indirect tax becomes increasingly digital, conversations around tax are rarely just about tax anymore. They quickly move into areas like ERPEnterprise resource planning (ERP) is a type of software that organisations use to manage main business processes. systems, data quality, automation and reporting.

That shift has been visible at Vertex Exchange events over the last few years.

Key talking points at Vertex Exchange

The sessions usually reflect the issues many tax teams are currently dealing with. In recent years those discussions have centred around topics such as e-invoicingElectronic invoicing - widely referred to as e-invoicing - is the exchange of a digital document between a supplier and a buyer. E-invoices are issued, transmitted and received in a structured data format that enabled automatic and electronic processing. They contain data in a machine-readable format so that an AP system can read an invoice without manual data entry, leading to faster and more efficient invoicing., real time reporting and the growing complexity of managing tax across multiple systems.

There is also a strong focus on implementation experience. Rather than theoretical discussions, many speakers share practical examples of how organisations have approached tax engine integrations, automation projects or large scale ERP environments.

For anyone working closely with tax technology, these case studies tend to be the most beneficial part of the event.

Why these discussions are becoming more relevant

Tax authorities are moving quickly towards digital reporting and continuous transaction controls. Across Europe and beyond, businesses are being asked to submit more data, more frequently and in more structured formats.

That change puts pressure on systems rather than just tax teams. The ability to manage data flows between ERP platforms, tax engines and reporting tools is becoming central to compliance.

Events like Vertex Exchange offer a valuable opportunity to hear how other organisations are addressing those challenges. Often the most valuable insights come from comparing how different companies have approached similar problems.

Looking ahead to Vienna

With digital tax requirements continuing to expand across Europe, the agenda in Vienna will likely focus heavily on automation, data management and the practical realities of implementing tax technology at scale.

For companies working in this space, it should be another interesting opportunity to hear how the industry is evolving.
