The ITTF Finance Forum returned to its in-person format, held alongside the ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships 2024 in Busan, as part of the ITTF Summit series of meetings. With more than 100 individuals in attendance, it marked the largest gathering since the inception of the ITTF Finance Forum in 2018. The Forum served as a platform for transparency, accountability, and reflection on the financial status of the ITTF, following a series of challenging years.

ITTF President, Ms. Petra Sörling, welcomed the attendees: “After several years of organising the Finance Forum online, it is a pleasure to welcome you all today in person. In 2018, we organized the first ITTF Finance Forum, and I was encouraged by the dialogue it fostered. Today, I encourage you to engage in open conversations and raise any questions you may have.”
