AGU poster templates in the right size
Each template opens at the size below. The 72 × 48 in files are built at half size because PowerPoint caps slides at 56 in: print them at 200%, or at about 194% (70 × 46.5 in) to keep AGU’s 1 in border.

AGU Annual Meeting poster requirements
AGU26 (San Francisco, 7–11 December 2026) has not published its poster rules yet; AGU says the scientific programme goes live in early October 2026. Until then, these are the AGU25 rules (New Orleans, December 2025).
- Each presenter gets a board 6 ft wide × 4 ft high (1.8 × 1.2 m); the poster may be up to that size.
- Leave a 1 in border around the edge of your content, so print a full-board poster at about 70 × 46 in.
- Posters are landscape and stay up for a full day; you present during your scheduled session.
- Push pins are handed out at the poster assistance desk.
- Posters can also be shown online as an iPoster, built in AGU’s own online tool.

AGU poster FAQ
What size is an AGU poster?
At AGU25 each board was 6 ft wide by 4 ft high, and a poster could use the whole board minus a 1 in border. A 72 × 48 in poster printed at about 70 × 46 in, or a 48 × 36 in poster, both fit.
Has AGU published the AGU26 poster size?
Not yet. The AGU26 programme and presenter pages go live in early October 2026. At AGU25 the board was 6 × 4 ft; check AGU’s poster page before you print.
Should an AGU poster be landscape or portrait?
Landscape. The board is 6 ft wide and 4 ft high, so a landscape poster fills it; a portrait poster would leave most of the width empty.
Why is the 72 × 48 in template half size?
PowerPoint cannot make a slide wider than 56 in, so the file is 36 × 24 in with the type sized for the printed poster. Print at 200% for the full board or about 194% to keep the 1 in border. Maps and satellite images should be placed at 300 dpi or more.
Do I need an iPoster for AGU?
Only if you choose to show your poster online. iPosters are built in AGU’s own tool; you can reuse the figures and text from your printed template.
Are the AGU templates free?
Yes. The PowerPoint templates are free to download and fully editable. The AI generator uses credits, and new accounts get sign-up credits to try it.
Need maps and schematics for your AGU poster?
Draw cross-sections, process diagrams and graphical abstracts with AI and drop them into your template.
