The Biophysical Society's Subgroups hold symposia that allow attendees to meet and interact within focused areas. The Subgroup Symposia are heavily attended and include exciting scientific lectures, award presentations, student and postdoc talks, and business meetings, which are open to members of each Subgroup. These will primarily be held on the first day of the Annual Meeting, Saturday, February 20, 2027, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Main Program will also feature four symposia annually throughout the conference.
