LaTeX Template for Conference Posters
Here is version 0.1 of a LaTeX template for conference posters. The template is reasonably well-commented, and so it should be straightforward to build your own poster. Some options are not supported yet due to time constraints, so the template is a little barebones at the moment. Please direct any comments/bug reports, etc to Anand Sarwate (asarwate at eecs). To use the template, you can download the archive:
  • confposter.tgz -- compressed archive of template and supporting files.
The individual files in the archive are:
  • a0size.sty -- provides macros for resizing text.
  • textpos.sty -- package that lets you place text boxes arbitrarily on the page. You can also get this from CTAN or one of its mirrors.
  • textpos.drv -- more files for textpos.
  • eecs.eps -- high resolution (6 MB) EPS version of the department logo.
  • wifound.eps -- the current Wireless Foundations logo.
  • samplefig.eps -- sample figure used in the template.
  • posterTemplate.bib -- BibTeX file for the references used in the template.
  • posterTemplate.tex -- the actual poster template source file.
  • posterTemplate.ps -- sample output in PostScript format.
  • posterTemplate.pdf -- the sample output produced by the poster template. It also has comments and information about the template and how to use it.
