Event Recap: Flexible by design: scaling operations with Airtable | June 24, 2026

Thanks to everyone who joined us for this one. Lots of great content packed into 60 minutes, and the recording is above if you want to revisit, take screenshots, or share with your teams!

Jan Sassmannshausen (Airtable Field CTO) opened with the Center of Enablement Excellence, a governance model that bridges the gap between builder-led speed and IT-led structure. The idea: pair business context with the right standards so teams can scale Airtable across the organization without things breaking down.

​@Benjamin_R (Kapaya) then took it live with a Managed Apps demo, showing how one centrally governed app can be deployed across regional teams, each with their own local filters, automations, and extensions while data consolidates automatically for cross-regional reporting.

Key takeaways:

• Build once, deploy everywhere, push updates instantly
• Local teams stay flexible without breaking central governance
• Shadow IT shrinks when people can actually customize their tools
