To change the orientation of a beamerposter the following usual code

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[size=a4]{beamerposter}
\usepackage[landscape]{geometry}                                                                                                                                                                            
\begin{document}
hey
\end{document}

will give the error:

! LaTeX Error: Option clash for package geometry.

Therefore I am forced to pass the options to the geometry package in the beginning with \PassOptionsToPackage{landscape}{geometry}

\PassOptionsToPackage{landscape}{geometry}
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[size=a4]{beamerposter}
\begin{document}
hey
\end{document}

(see, for example, option clash for package xcolor)

However, the result is completely opposite. When the portrait option is provided the page is landscape and vice versa.

This can indeed be a source of confusion and misunderstanding! How to fix this problem?

The orientation can be given as an option of the package:

\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage[size=a4,orientation=landscape]{beamerposter}

\begin{document}
hey
\end{document}
