The Coffee Conversation at RANZCP 2026
Psychiatrists carry an enormous responsibility all year. While Congress week is inspiring, the schedule of clinical discussions, lecture theatres, and research updates is undeniably intense. We believe that coffee creates pause, pause creates conversation, and conversation builds trust.
We aren’t interested in standing behind a booth asking for your CV before we’ve even learned your name. We are interested in real, face-to-face discussions about your career. That is why Blugibbon is showing up as the caffeine providers for the RANZCP 2026 ASM.
A pause in the program
Congress week is intense. Between heavy clinical discussions, workforce panels, and research updates, psychiatrists carry an enormous responsibility. We believe the best career decisions aren’t made at a high-pressure booth—they start with a conversation and a moment of pause.
That’s why we’re the caffeine providers this year. We aren't here to ask for your CV before we know your name; we’re here to listen to your goals for 2026.
The Pause: Real face-to-face connection.
The Focus: Clarity, not pressure.
The Goal: Redesigning your career, your way.
