Every year, the conference organizes and sponsors open evaluation campaigns around key challenges in simultaneous and consecutive translation, under real-time/low latency or offline conditions and under low-resource or multilingual constraints. System descriptions and results from participants’ systems and scientific papers related to key algorithmic advances and best practices are presented. IWSLT is the venue of the SIGSLTs, the Special Interest Group on Spoken Language Translation of ACL, ISCA and ELRA. With a track record of 20 years, IWSLT benchmarks and proceedings serve as reference for all researchers and practitioners working on speech translation and related fields. The 21st edition of IWSLT will be run as an *ELRA/ACL* event and co-located with ACL 2024 <https://2024.aclweb.org/> on August 15-16, 2024. It will be run as a hybrid event.
