Pick the venue, open the matching template, and click Open in Octree to start writing with a live PDF preview. Every template on this site compiles with plain pdfLaTeX and ships with comments explaining where the official style file from the author kit goes, so you can draft now and swap in neurips_2027.sty, aaai27.sty or acl.sty when you are ready to submit.
Accepted papers almost always come with a poster session. The A0 conference poster template uses beamerposter, needs no external images and prints at A0 or 36 by 48 inches with one option change.
