    The VFTS2024 meeting is the latest in the series of annual collaboration meetings focused on observations, theory and modelling of the massive-star populations of the Magellanic Clouds that have been centered on the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (VFTS) ESO Large Programme, and now leading into the new Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM) Large Programme.
