Why Blugibbon Is the Official Provider of Caffeine at the Melbourne ASM 2026

If you have ever walked through a medical conference exhibition hall, you know the drill.
Rows of booths.
Branded pens.
Plastic stress balls.
A recruiter asking “Are you looking for work?” before they have even learned your name.
That is not us.
If you are attending the RANZCP Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) in Melbourne in May 2026, there is one thing you should know.
Blugibbon is the official provider of caffeine. β
And that is completely intentional.

Why We’re Buying the Coffee for Psychiatrists
Congress week is full.
Early mornings.
Heavy clinical discussions.
Packed lecture theatres.
Workforce panels.
Research updates.
Psychiatrists carry enormous responsibility all year. ASM week is inspiring, but it is also intense.
Coffee creates pause.
Pause creates conversation.
Conversation builds trust.
We are not interested in standing behind a booth asking if you are looking for work before learning your name.
We are interested in real, face-to-face conversations about your career in psychiatry.
That is why we are showing up as the caffeine providers.
