This is a report on the fifteenth edition of the Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum (CLEF 2024), held on September 9--12, 2024, in Grenoble, France. CLEF was a four-day hybrid event combining a conference and an evaluation forum. This edition also marked a special event, since we celebrated the 25th anniversary of CLEF. The conference featured keynotes by Paula Carvalho and Aurélie Névéol, and presentation of peer-reviewed research papers covering a wide range of topics, in addition to many posters. The evaluation forum consisted of fourteen labs: BioASQ, CheckThat!, ELOQUENT, eRisk, EXIST, iDPP, Image-CLEF, JOKER, LifeCLEF, LongEval, PAN, qCLEF, SimpleText, and Touché, addressing a wide range of tasks, media, languages, and ways to go beyond standard test collections.
