What size is a BPS 2027 poster?

The Biophysical Society gives each presenter a board 6 ft wide by 4 ft high at BPS2027 in Philadelphia. The guidelines ask you to plan the poster to fit that space; a 48 x 36 in landscape poster or an A0 landscape poster (46.8 x 33.1 in) both fit with room to spare.

Should a BPS poster be portrait or landscape?

Landscape. The board is wider than it is tall, so a landscape poster fills it and a portrait poster leaves the sides empty. A 36 x 48 in portrait poster would fit physically but uses only half of the 6 ft width.

How big should the text be on a BPS poster?

The Biophysical Society asks for type large enough to read comfortably from 4–5 ft (1.5 m). The SciFig templates set body text and headings for that distance on a 48 x 36 in board, so you can type into the sections without resizing.

Where can I print a poster for BPS 2027?

The Biophysical Society works with Tray, Inc. for printed posters: orders open January 15, 2027, rush orders close at 1:00 PM on February 22, and pickup is at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. You can also print with your own service and bring the poster.

What do I need to bring to my BPS poster session?

Your printed poster, pushpins, thumbtacks or velcro (authors bring their own), and a copy of your abstract to display. Matte finish on micrographs and photos is recommended for better visibility under hall lighting.

Are these BPS poster templates free?

Yes. SciFig BPS poster templates are free to download as .pptx files or to copy into Google Slides, in six colors and three layouts, with no sign-up needed for the files. To make the figures that go into them, SciFig gives free credits when you register.

What is a Free BPS Poster Template 2027?

A BPS poster template is a PowerPoint file that fits the 6 x 4 ft Biophysical Society poster board.

A BPS poster template is a PowerPoint file that fits the 6 x 4 ft Biophysical Society poster board. For BPS2027 in Philadelphia, each board is 6 ft wide by 4 ft high, so a landscape poster uses the space best. The 48 x 36 in and A0 landscape files below both fit the board at 100% scale, with the print type scale already set.

BPS poster size 2027: the 6 x 4 ft board

Each BPS2027 board is 6 ft wide by 4 ft high, so plan a landscape poster that fits that space.

The 2027 poster guidelines give one board per presenter and ask you to plan the poster to fit it. Both landscape files below print inside the board at 100%; portrait files fit physically but leave half of the width unused.

Template	Size	Fits the 6 x 4 ft BPS board?
48 x 36 in landscape	48 x 36 in · 122 x 91 cm	Yes — 24 in of width and 12 in of height to spare
A0 landscape	46.8 x 33.1 in · 1189 x 841 mm	Yes — the A-series option if you print on A0
36 x 48 in portrait	36 x 48 in · 91 x 122 cm	Fits, but uses only half the board width

How to make a BPS poster from a template

Download the landscape file, write your study into the sections, then place your figures.

Pick 48 x 36 in or A0 landscape in the layout and color you want. Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions, References and Acknowledgements are already in place, with six figure placeholders sized for the board.

Text first
every gray prompt is a hint, not content. Click it and type; it disappears on its own and never prints.
Then the figures. Biophysics posters are read from the structure or mechanism outward: put the protein, membrane or pathway schematic where the eye lands first. Describe it to SciFig AI Illustration or lay out the experimental workflow in SciFig FlowChart (flowcharts and diagrams), then drop the result into the placeholder.
Export to PDF and print at 100%. Bring pushpins or velcro and a copy of your abstract to display on the board.

BPS poster tips the Biophysical Society asks for

Readable from 4–5 ft, matte images, your abstract on display, and your own pins.

Type large enough to read comfortably from 4–5 ft (1.5 m) — the society's own guidance.
Matte finish on micrographs and photographic reproductions, which reads better under hall lighting.
A copy of your abstract displayed on the board; extra copies are welcome.
Results plotted from your real numbers. SciFig DataChart (charts and graphs from your data) draws bar, line and scatter charts from your table, so the poster matches your data exactly.
A QR code to the preprint or your lab page. The poster QR code generator makes one sized for print.

Conferences and departments write this size in different ways — you may also see it listed as: bps poster template · bps poster size · bps 2027 poster · biophysical society poster · biophysical society poster size · bps poster printing · biophysics poster template
