    There is a CBC article on the festival at

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/william-ping-sparks-2021-
    1.5880585

    or, since that may have been broken across two lines,

    and the festival website, which has a link to the YouTube page
    as well as a list of authors and a schedule, is at

    https://www.hss.mun.ca/sparks/

    Again, interesting.......

    Will there be another event coming in 2024...?

    Yes, it is an annual event, and is back to in-person, though
    there may also be an online option. When the 2024
    festival is announced I will mention it on here.
