About this Event
Research is only useful when you can trace where the information came from and judge whether it is reliable.
Finding current information can take time, especially when you need to compare sources, check claims, and keep track of what is still uncertain. This practical Perplexity training shows you how to use Perplexity for source-grounded research while keeping evidence checking and human review at the centre.
You will work through practical research tasks using current sources, structured review steps, and safe practice scenarios to build a more reliable research workflow.
Who this is for
This session is designed for:
- Researchers and analysts
- Policy professionals
- Educators and trainers
- Strategy and planning teams
- Grant writers
- Professionals who regularly work with current information and evidence
What we will do together
- Build a research workflow: Use Perplexity to structure research questions, find relevant sources, and organise information efficiently.
- Check source quality: Learn how to assess sources for authority, relevance, currency, and evidence before relying on them.
- Trace claims to evidence: Practise checking whether key statements are actually supported by the sources provided.
- Handle uncertainty: Record gaps, conflicting information, and areas that need further verification rather than treating every answer as conclusive.
- Apply human review: Use a simple review process before research findings are used in reports, policy work, teaching, strategy, or grant applications.
What you will take home
- A practical Research Workflow
- A Source Quality Rubric
- An Evidence-Checking Checklist
- An Uncertainty Log
- A more structured approach to source-grounded research using Perplexity
Good to know
Please bring your laptop for the practical activities. You may bring a research question or non-confidential topic relevant to your work, but please do not use sensitive or confidential information. No previous Perplexity or AI experience is required. This is a practical professional development session focused on improving research quality, source checking, and responsible AI use.

Refund, Cancellation and Transfer Policy
Refund, Cancellation and Transfer Policy
1) Your legal rights: Our services come with guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded. Nothing in this policy limits them. This policy applies to tickets for this event only.
2) If we cancel or materially change the event: If we cancel this event, or change its date, content, format or delivery mode so materially that it no longer meets your reasonable needs, you can choose either:
(a) a full refund of the total you paid, including Eventbrite fees, to your original payment method; or
(b) a transfer to a later event of your choice.
We do not deduct any fee from these refunds. Minor changes, such as a substitute presenter, a running-order change, or a different room at the same venue, do not entitle you to a refund under this clause. If you think a change is material, email and we will decide within 5 business days. We will give reasons if we decline, and your legal rights are unaffected.
3) If you cannot attend: Tickets are non-refundable for change of mind. If you tell us at least 14 days before the event, you may move your ticket once to another session, subject to availability. It has no cash value.
4) Transferring your ticket to another person: You may transfer your ticket to another person up to 7 days before the event, by emailing with the new attendee’s name and email, or via Eventbrite’s transfer tool where enabled. Tickets must not be resold for more than you paid. We set this cut-off because we confirm final attendee numbers with the venue and caterer, and prepare name badges and course materials, 7 days before each event.
5) No-show or leaving early: No refund or credit is available if you do not attend or leave part-way through, except as required by law.
6) Refund requests: Email with your name, order number and the clause you rely on. We acknowledge requests within 5 business days and decide them within 10 business days. Approved refunds go to the original payment method and normally appear within 5 to 10 business days.
7) Conduct: We may refuse entry or remove an attendee who endangers others or seriously disrupts the event. No refund is due for that. This does not limit your legal rights.
8) Tickets sold through Eventbrite: Eventbrite processes tickets. Its refund tools and terms apply in addition to this policy, and we will honour the rights set out here. For advisory, training or consulting under a separate written agreement, that agreement’s terms apply together with clauses 1 and 2.
